• OPEN: A two-year position in the areas of ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and global change ecology.
  The Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics Lab at UC Berkeley is looking for a creative and self-motivated postdoc (http://www.keenangroup.info/). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be the primary researcher on a NASA SMAP science grant and pursue their own research curiosities and hypotheses within the overarching project goals: Harnessing soil moisture’s memory to decode eco-evolutionary principles of plant water use strategies and advance ecosystem carbon and water cycle modeling. This research could incorporate aspects of plant ecophysiological theory, ecohydrological modeling, perturbed parameter experiments, land surface model emulation, data science and knowledge-guided machine learning, leveraging multiple satellite and ground-based datasets. The ideal candidate would have strong quantitative skills and familiarity examining ecosystem traits, states, and processes for understanding water and carbon dynamics through creative combinations of above approaches. Applicants are not required to have existing experience in all domains.
  The researcher will work in close collaboration with scientists across multiple projects. See here for current projects. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and an interest in developing skills in any of the above areas are encouraged to apply. Candidates from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.

  This position is now open, and candidates will be reviewed on a rolling basis from December 22nd 2024.
