David Moore at the University of Arizona’s School of Natural Resources seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to research projects to understand the controls and drivers of large-scale and long-term patterns of gross primary productivity and carbon cycling across North America. The project will use a combination of modeling and empirical approaches to examine the role of state factors and interactive controls in regulating long term carbon uptake and storage. The project will use a combination of land surface modeling, in situ flux observations, geospatial datasets, and remotely sensed data. The successful candidate will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and will be expected to lead and contribute to peer reviewed publications and conference presentations.

We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join a collaborative project evaluating the methane budget and the potential for its management in contrasting environments. This project aims to quantify and contrast the CH4 budget and its responses to manipulations in landfills, as well as the response of CH4 budget to flood and vegetation variation in tropical floodplains. Through intense data analyses, new data acquisition, use of existing models, and new machine learning approaches, project will aim to develop predictive responses to ecosystem manipulations or estimate prescribed regimes to reach a near neutral emission status on landfill or managed wetlands
Starting of position is flexible but as early as possible in Spring 2023 is desired

The Ecosystems and Global Change Group (www.ecosystemchange.com) at Trent University jointly led by Prof Andrew Tanentzap (Canada Research Chair in Climate Change and Northern Ecosystems) and Dr Erik Emilson (Research Scientist, Canadian Forest Service sector of Natural Resources Canada, https://glfc-wet.github.io) is recruiting a two-year postdoctoral researcher to work on a project investigating the how fluxes of organic matter from land into receiving waters may offset terrestrial carbon sequestration as a nature-based climate solution. The postdoctoral researcher will quantify the amount of carbon lost from boreal forests into freshwaters by establishing two new eddy flux covariance towers. The research will involve tracing the flow of carbon seasonally from land into water and characterising the biogeochemical drivers and impacts of these fluxes.

A Postdoctoral Research Associate is being sought for the deployment and analysis of new urban flux observations using the eddy covariance method as well as support other urban hydroclimatic measurements related to water, heat, and pollutants, including during intensive observation periods (IOPs).

An NSF Macrosystems project on “Climate legacies and timescales of influence on carbon cycle processes in drylands” is seeking to hire a postdoc at Northern Arizona University (NAU). The postdoc will participate in synthesizing climate data to identify extreme climate events in the western US, and will analyze tree-ring (tree growth, forest productivity) and/or ecosystem C flux (eddy flux towers) data to quantify legacies of climate extremes on C cycle components across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The postdoc will co-supervise student (undergraduate or masters) researchers and will potentially contribute to outreach and training activities.
