A postdoctoral scientist position is available in Dr. Natasha MacBeans group in the Department of Geography at Indiana University (IU) Bloomington on terrestrial biosphere model (TBM) development for dryland ecosystems. This postdoc is funded by a NASA Carbon Cycle Program grant. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for utilizing the wide range of field and remote sensing data and outputs of the project to test, optimize and develop the ORCHIDEE TBM to better represent dryland ecosystem functioning. Multiple opportunities exist for collaborations with other project members and collaborators at NASA Goddard, the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center, the University of Arizona, and at IU Bloomington. Applicants are required to have strong prior experience working with terrestrial biosphere models/land surface models/dynamic vegetation models as well as HPC systems. Further qualifications are listed below. Remote work within the US is possible (please enquire for more details). This position is offered for 3 years from spring 2022.<div><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Salary: Commensurate with experience.
