The Energy Biosciences Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to conduct innovative research examining
the biophysical implications of large scale biofuel production as part of
an interdisciplinary research program. The specific duties include the integration
of an existing biogeochemical cycle model with an agriculture crop model
to explore our understanding of how biogeochemical systems interact with
land cover and land use and agriculture crops. This research will also investigate
the implications of large scale production of biofuels in the U.S. and other
countries for agricultural land use, soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse
gas emissions.
A Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences or another related field in the sciences or engineering is required. The applicant should have working experience with high speed super fast computers, numerical simulation models and ability to analyze satellite data for land use changes and dynamics of the agro-ecosystems. Key factors in our hiring decision will be intelligence, thoughtfulness, creativity, motivation, productivity, and a record of successful scientific publication.
Applicants should send the following materials by email to Prof. Atul Jain at jain1@uiuc.edu (1) curriculum vita, (2) a letter describing research interests and experience, and (3) names and contact information for three references. Review of completed applications will begin January 15, 2008 and continue until position is filled.
