The Global Ecology group at the Earth Systems Research Center, University
of New Hampshire (UNH), has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral
research associate. The goal of this project is to advance understanding of
how ecosystem functioning, productivity, carbon uptake/stock, and
resilience respond to climate change, and how these responses are mediated
by biodiversity and management across regional to global scales. The
successful applicant will integrate ground-based observations (e.g., eddy
covariance measurements, forest inventories) with satellite remote sensing
data (e.g., spaceborne lidar and/or hyperspectral observations) and apply
machine learning and deep learning approaches to address these questions.

This position is funded by NASA. The appointment is for one year initially
and may be renewed depending on funding availability and satisfactory
performance.

*Duties/Responsibilities*

   -

   Conduct novel research to understand how terrestrial ecosystems respond
   to climate extremes (e.g., drought, heatwaves) and disturbances, and how
   these responses are mediated by biodiversity and management, using
   state-of-the-art ground-based and satellite observations as well as machine
   learning/deep learning methods.
   -

   Lead manuscript preparation and conference presentations on project
   findings, with a strong emphasis on publishing high-quality and high-impact
   papers.



*Requirements*

Minimum Acceptable Education & Experience:

   -

   A Ph.D. in areas such as ecology, remote sensing, atmospheric
   sciences/meteorology, biogeosciences, forestry/natural resources,
   environmental science, or a related field is required.


Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

   -

   Applicants should be enthusiastic, creative, and highly motivated. Ideal
   candidates should have one or more of the following experiences:
   mechanistic understanding of ecosystem functioning and processes, satellite
   remote sensing, processing of large data sets, machine learning/deep
   learning, Earth system modeling, and synthesis of in-situ observations.
   -

   Strong communication, writing, and programming skills and publication
   record are highly desirable.

*Applicant Instructions*

Applicants should be prepared to upload the following documents when
applying online within the Resume/Cover Letter section of your application:

   -
