Position:</span></b><b><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></b><span style="font-size:11pt">We seek two postdoctoral
research associates to</span> develop realistic estimates of <span style="font-size:11pt">current and future carbon
storage in forests of the Northeastern United States and western North America.
Specifically, the postdoctoral associates will use USDA Forest Inventory and
Analysis permanent plot data and forest simulations to </span><span style="font-size:11pt">1) quantify carbon stocks and rates of sequestration in
forests and harvested wood products over the last two decades, 2) identify the
social and biophysical drivers of spatial and temporal variation in forest
carbon storage, and 3) develop projections of potential future carbon storage
in forests under scenarios of climate change.</span><span style="font-size:11pt"> The postdoctoral associates will join a
vibrant and growing team at the Forest Futures Lab based at Cary Institute of
Ecosystem Studies. Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies is the world’s premier
think tank on ecosystem science. It is a uniquely collaborative and welcoming
institution. The successful candidates will be provided resources for travel
related to the project and will have many opportunities for professional
development beyond the project. For additional information on the Forest
