Postdoctoral Fellow in Terrestrial Ecosystem Dynamics at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University

Harvard University is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in the laboratory of Professor Paul Moorcroft.

Tasks Involved

  1. The successful candidate will be involved in a research project examining regional variation in forest carbon uptake and storage via assimilation of lidar-derived measurements of forest structure into a process-based terrestrial biosphere model.
  2. The lidar-constrained model will be used to quantify the contributions of different forest ecosystems to mitigating atmospheric CO2 levels over the coming decades under different climate scenarios.

Requirements / Qualifications

Candidates should have a strong background in ecosystem ecology, terrestrial biosphere modeling, or a related field. Applicants with previous experience with terrestrial ecosystem or land-surface models and/or lidar measurements of forest structure are strongly preferred.
