ecosystem modeling or spatial data analysis to contribute to a project
aimed at understanding the interaction of climate change and disturbance
impacts on forests in the intermountain western US. The postdoc will be
part of a multi-institution team that includes computer scientists,
hydrologists, and social scientists. The primary responsibilities for the
position include running LANDIS-II simulations for three watersheds within
the study area and working with computer science researchers to use a
machine learning approach for modeling core responses variables in other
watersheds within the study area.

This is a two-year position, with a preferred start during summer 2026.
Salary is $60,000-63,000 per year, plus benefits.  Required qualifications
include a PhD in ecology, ecosystem science, earth/environmental sciences,
or statistics and programming experience with R.  Preferred qualifications
include programming in C+ or C# and willingness to occasionally participate
in field sampling.

Applicants should submit a cover letter detailing research interests and
goals and how they relate to the position, a complete CV, and names and
