Job description

The Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics group at UC Berkeley is looking for a creative and self-motivated postdoc (http://www.keenangroup.info/).

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to various ongoing projects in the group (current projects), but we are particularly interested in the role of vegetation in the global carbon cycle, water constraints, and natural climate solutions. Competitive candidates could focus on a variety of topics and the postdoc will collaborate closely with external collaborators both in academia and industry.  

Other specific areas of interest include long-term ecosystem dynamics, the development and application of ecophysiological theory, ecohydrology, machine learning and remote sensing applications, land surface modeling and emulation, and leveraging the information contained in eddy-covariance observations. Carbon, water and energy dynamics are central to our work.

The ideal candidate would have familiarity with photosynthesis, eddy-covariance measurements, tree ring and forest inventory data, land surface models and/or remote sensing. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and an interest in developing skills in any of the above areas are very much encouraged to apply.  

Please include a brief (< 1pg) description of your interests and what you would like to work on if you joined the group.  

Apply here by Jan 30th to be given full consideration.
