[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc - Earth system modeling and analysis of wildfire impacts

[Min Chen]

Dear colleagues,

I am excited to announce a 3-year postdoctoral position and a fully funded
PhD student position at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The successful
candidates will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading
researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Oak Ridge
National Laboratory on a DOE-funded project.

The focus of the research is to investigate land-atmosphere exchanges of
carbon, water, and energy in response to wildfire disturbances. This will
involve utilizing advanced Earth system models, such as E3SM, along with
cutting-edge machine learning techniques. If you or someone you know might
be interested in this position, please refer to the attached details and
feel free to reach out to me with any questions (min.chen at wisc.edu).

*I am at AGU for the whole week. Please reach out and we can arrange a
meeting.*

The Global Change Research Laboratory (GCRL) at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a talented and motivated Postdoctoral Research
Scientist to join our dynamic and innovative team. Our laboratory focuses
on the complex interactions between climate change, terrestrial ecosystems,
and human societies. We use cutting-edge research tools, including
process-based and empirical Earth system models, remote sensing data, field
data, integrated assessment models, and model-data fusion, to address
critical questions in global change science. For more information about our
work, please visit the GCRL Website.


Position Overview: The successful candidate will collaborate with
researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Oak Ridge
National Laboratory on a DOE-funded project. The research will explore
land-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water, and energy in response to
wildfire disturbances using Earth system models (such as E3SM) and advanced
machine learning techniques.


Start Date: Flexible, with the earliest start available immediately.


Qualifications: Applicants must hold a PhD by the time of appointment in a
relevant discipline such as Earth sciences, physical sciences, or
computational sciences. Ideal candidates will have expertise in one or more
of the following areas:

● Land surface, terrestrial ecosystem, or Earth system modeling.

● Remote sensing, machine learning, or numerical/statistical analysis.

● Strong programming skills and experience working with supercomputing
environments.


Proficiency in spoken and written English is required. The position will be
renewed annually, contingent on performance. Salary is competitive and
commensurate with experience.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison and GCRL are committed to fostering a
diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment. We strongly encourage
applications from candidates from historically underrepresented groups in
science.


How to Apply: Interested candidates should send the following application
materials via email to Dr. Min Chen (min.chen at wisc.edu) with the subject
line: “Postdoc Position Application - Earth System Modeling - [Your Name]”:

● A cover letter summarizing your research background and explaining your
interest in the position.

● A current CV.

● Contact information for three professional references.


Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is
filled. *We greatly appreciate all the applications, but we will only give
feedback to the candidates that we plan to interview.* For any inquiries,
please contact Dr. Min Chen.
