We are currently looking for a Postdoc/Research Professor!
Preferred application deadline is March 15, but applications will be considered until position is filled.
Post-doctoral Fellow/Research Professor in Semi-arid Land-Atmosphere Exchange
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join a collaborative team from UNM, conducting research on ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of carbon, water and energy in semi-arid ecosystems. Our group operates a network of nine eddy covariance flux towers sites distributed across a 1500 m elevation gradient in New Mexico (New Mexico Elevation Gradient or NMEG) that has measured ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes and associated physiological processes continuously for 16 years. We are seeking a candidate to process fluxes from these towers and develop research questions that use this gradient to examine how fluxes and processes in these rapidly changing biomes are responding to disturbance and climate change. The successful candidate will work with PI Marcy Litvak (UNM), and collaborate with a number of PIs using this gradient of towers. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, and demonstrate a record of experience and research productivity in one or more of the following areas: (i) EC flux tower or other land-surface flux datasets; (ii) physiological, ecosystem, ecohydrology, biometeorology or landscape ecology with an emphasis on analyzing large datasets; (iii) ecosystem modeling, particularly in water-limited environments. The position is available for one year intitially, with possibility of three additional years of funding.
Required qualifications: (i) Ph.D., at time of appointment, in Plant Physiological Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Earth System Science, Forest Hydrology, or a related field is preferred; (ii) demonstrated programming expertise in Matlab, R and/or Python. Preferred qualifications: Knowledge and understanding of plant physiological processes, soil moisture dynamics, experience measuring sap flux, soil water dynamics, and/or plant function; excellent written and oral communication skills; ability to work as part of a collaborative team with other researchers.
Inquiries and applications (cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for a minimum of 3 references) should be directed to Dr. Marcy Litvak (mlitvak@unm.edu). Application Deadline March 15. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Start date by May 2023 preferred.
