<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><a name="_Hlk112152838">Northern Arizona University is
seeking applications for either a<u> Research Associate or Postdoctoral Scholar</u>
in <u>ecosystem ecology</u> or <u>remote sensing</u> to work on recently funded
NSF and NASA-ABoVE (Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment) projects. The successful
applicant will join a highly collaborative team of researchers in the Center
for Ecosystem Science and Society (</a><a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/">ECOSS</a>) and School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (<a href="https://nau.edu/school-of-informatics-computing-and-cyber-systems/">SICCS</a>) and have the opportunity to work closely with a diverse team
of researchers focused on ecosystem ecology (Michelle Mack and Xanthe Walker)
and remote sensing (Scott Goetz and Logan Berner). The position could be <u>remote</u>
or based in Flagstaff, AZ and the expected start date is Spring 2023.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The <u>remote
sensing</u> position will focus on mapping, monitoring, and modeling broad
scale ecosystem changes. The work will include extensive use of imagery from a
range of sources to derive geospatial products related to stand age and pre-
and post-fire tree species composition. The
<u>ecosystem ecology</u> position will focus on testing ecological hypotheses
about the drivers and impacts of changing disturbance regimes. Specifically, we
are interested in assessing the drivers and impacts of reburning in boreal
forest ecosystems.</p>
