The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) in Boulder, Colorado, announce an opportunity for a Post-Doctoral Associate to improve land carbon cycle modeling using atmospheric carbon cycle observations and satellite data constraints. This position involves using atmospheric carbon cycle observations (e.g. carbon dioxide and its carbon-13 isotopologue, carbonyl sulfide) and satellite remote sensing data (e.g. land surface temperature, solar induced fluorescence) to evaluate and optimize parameter selection in land carbon cycle models. The goal of this research is to optimize land carbon cycle models for drought monitoring and forecasting hydroclimate in the western United States, and is funded through the NOAA Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections program. The successful candidate will work on a NOAA MAPP Drought research grant and interact closely with principal investigators in the Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gases group at the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory and at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
