Postdoc position studying forest dynamics and tree resilience to climate change impacts using high resolution drone-based imagery

by -

The FastPheno project is soliciting applications for a postdoctoral position at the University of Toronto.
The individual will be working as part of a larger team including researchers from the University of Toronto, Université Laval, Natural Resources Canada, and the Ministry of Forests, Fauna and Parcs of Quebec. Our team combines the next generation of high-throughput drone-based phenotyping platforms, plant ecophysiological and genomics approaches to better understand forest dynamics and tree resilience to climate change impacts. The successful candidate will be based in Toronto and work in an interdisciplinary team of researchers of the four participating organizations in a highly collaborative environment.

If you have a background or interest in one or several of the following areas, you should send us your application: High resolution image classification, remote sensing of vegetation, data sciences, computer sciences, bioinformatics, statistical modelling, environmental sciences, ecophysiology of plants, and ecology of trees.
Potential applicants should send their CV, a list with the names and contact information of 2-3 references and a max. one1 page motivation letter in a single PDF file to [email protected]. Use the words Application Postdoc High Resolution Imagery in the subject line of your email. The review of applications will commence immediately until the position is filled.

Posdoc position in Cadiz, Spain

by -

We offer of postdoctoral contract for 1 year, extendable until 30/11/2024, to apply Atmospheric Eddy Covariance techniques in marshes and intertidal zones in the project “Rewilding saltmarshes to increase carbon sequestration, biodiversity and coastal adaptation to climate change as a nature based solution” (RICAS). RICAS is a project funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Aquatic Flux Measurements

by -

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.

Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Urban Flux Measurements

by -

An interdisciplinary team of faculty members across multiple schools at Arizona State University
was recently awarded a five-year project titled Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field
Laboratory (SW-IFL). This project is funded by the Environmental System Science Program of
the Department of Energy (DOE). The goal of the project is to develop and deploy novel
observational and modeling capabilities that improve understanding of extreme heat as a
central driver of key environmental outcomes, including greenhouse gas emissions, urban
water stress, and fate and transport of urban air pollutants in the complex Arizona megaregion,
extending from the US-Mexico border to the Navajo Nation. The Postdoctoral Research
Associate will be responsible 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).

Post-doctoral Scientist for Project on “Climate Legacies and the C Cycle”

by -

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. A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field is required, such as ecology, environmental science, forestry, statistics or data science, or informatics.
