Pending identification of the intersection of the successful applicants' interests and project goals, the successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in an integrated group across DOE utilizing the latest version of the NSF/DOE sponsored Community Land Model, and novel remote sensing approaches to quantify vegetation dynamics. The successful applicants will lead vegetation dynamics monitoring, interpretation, and application to testing of models at multiple scales (regional to global). Additionally, we encourage applicants who can work across disciplines and draw upon large and unique data sets to study linkages between large-scale climate and forest processes. | | | | | | Required skills for modeling: include experience using numerical simulation models. Required skills for remote sensing: include experience using remote sensing techniques to quantify and interpret vegetation patterns. Required skills for both positions: include demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed papers, effective written and oral communication skills, willingness to work in a team environment, and a Ph.D. pending or received within the last five years. Desired Skills: include knowledge of physiological, ecosystem, population, or community ecology, and proficient programming experiences in FORTRAN, R, Python or C. Education: PhD in related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed is required. | | | | | | Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.
