[ES_JOBS_NET] Two postdoc positions on ecosystem monitoring and modeling at Rutgers University

[Chi Chen]

Dear all,



Apologies for the multiple postings. The Chen Lab of Ecosystem Dynamics and Remote Sensing at Rutgers University has TWO postdoctoral positions available in early 2024.



Apply through the official Rutgers job portal:

https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/219349



The first position has a specific research focus with the project title: "Embracing the 3D Era: Exploring Vertical Acclimation of Vegetation Canopy Structure and Photosynthetic Activities through GEDI Data." It’s a NASA-funded project. Priority will be given to candidates with backgrounds in vegetation photosynthesis and hydraulics, remote sensing of canopy radiation transfer.



The second position offers more freedom in research direction. Candidates can define their own research focus. We are looking for outstanding researchers with similar interests. Preferred research directions include remote sensing of vegetation, analysis of land use and climate change impacts, land surface modeling (water-carbon-energy), application or development of optimization theories for vegetation processes.



Preference will be given to candidates meeting the following criteria: Experience with High-performance computing clusters, earth system model running and analysis.



Both positions have secured funding for several years, with renewals based on performance (annual salary: $60,000-$65,000, and benefits). Rutgers University is the flagship state university of New Jersey (ranked 40th nationally), with a prime location near New York City and Philadelphia.



Required documents: For both positions, please include:

-       CV (indicate your research interests),

-       sample publication(s),

-       2-3 reference contacts,

-       For the second position, I also need a 1-2 page research statement including motivation and career goals.

-       If you have questions, please email: chi.chen at rutgers.edu<mailto:chi.chen at rutgers.edu>.
