The Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,
Massachusetts is accepting applications for a full-time, year-round
postdoctoral position as part of an NSF-funded IPY project in
collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The successful candidate will have expertise in time-series analysis and
data assimilation to work on a study of CO2, water, and energy fluxes in
arctic ecosystems. Primary responsibilities include data assimilation
and modeling, development of a pan-arctic flux database, and
organization of international workshops to synthesize data. Data will be
derived from flux towers near Toolik Lake on the Alaska North Slope,
near Cherskii, Siberia, and also from measurements made by collaborators
working in Sweden, Svalbard, and Canada.
Applicants must hold a PhD in ecology, biology, applied mathematics, or
a related field and have a strong record of scientific publication.
Familiarity with time-series approaches to model identification,
testing, and analysis, including Kalman Filtering, is essential.
Familiarity with eddy-covariance methods of measuring CO2 and H2O fluxes
with simulation modeling is highly desirable. This position may entail
moderately strenuous fieldwork, as well as travel during the summer
field season to arctic research sites.
Application review has begun and will continue until a suitable
candidate is identified and the position filled. To apply, send a cover
letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three
persons who can be contacted for letters of reference to:
