Postdoc Needed, UC Berkeley, Environmental Sciences Policy and =20 Management Department.
A postdoc is sought for a NSF funded project in the Kelly Lab at UC =20 Berkeley examining methane cycling in the Sacramento Bay Delta area =20 in California. The position is appointed for one year, with a likely =20 extension to two years. Candidates with degrees in Geography, =20 Ecology, Environmental Engineering or related fields with experience =20 in remote sensing, spatial modeling, web programming, and =20 biogeochemistry will be considered. Successful candidate will help =20 with remote sensing imagery analysis and scaling of field biophysical =20= measurements to regional-scale. Some web and database experience a =20 plus. Salary range: $36,732 =96 $43,632 depending on qualifications. Position is open immediately until filled. To learn more about the Kelly Lab, see http://kellylab.berkeley.edu. Project description: Temperate peatlands are hotposts of soil carbon =20 storage and biological diversity, and they provide key economic =20 (grazing, peat production) and ecosystem (pollutant filters, carbon =20 sequestration) services. They likely plan an important role in =20 climate change. This project seeks to use experimental and modeling =20 approaches to determine the biophysical processes that control =20 coupled flues of carbon dioxide, water and methane in temperate =20 peatlands. We will quantify the land-atmosphere exchange of carbon =20 and water, and integrate these fluxes across a spectrum of time and =20 space through field-based measurements, remote sensing and spatial =20 modeling. For more information, see: http://kellylab.berkeley.edu/=20 research_methane.htm. Please send vitae with name of three references to Maggi Kelly @ =20 [EMAIL PROTECTED], with POSTDOC in the subject line. =20 Position is open until filled.
