<p class="MsoNormal">The Post Doctoral Fellow’s job duties will contribute to a funded research project by synthesizing and modeling CH4 flux datasets from a large number of eddy covariance measurement stations, focusing on production-scale rice agriculture.
Field visits may be conducted in irrigated and non-irrigated agricultural fields in Arkansas and other states. The project will investigate the impacts of land cover and management practices on the surface energy balance, biophysical properties, carbon uptake,
and greenhouse gas emissions. The Post Doctoral Fellow will interface with scientists from a number of institutions and disciplines. The ultimate aim is to advance scientific understanding by modeling CH4 fluxes using remote sensing and other geospatial inputs
and validate them at the field scale with the eddy covariance inputs.<o:p></o:p></p>
