Post Doctoral Fellowship: Modeling of ecosystem services
PCN NUMBER: 921385
Job 09-38
Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks
SALARY: $46,667 annually
CLOSING DATE: Open until filled
Seeking applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship to participate in an
NSF-funded project that explores the effects of recent and projected
changes in climate on ecosystem services and society in Interior and
Northern Alaska. The successful candidate will work with other project
team members to develop rule-based and quantitative models that
project climate-driven changes in (1) key environmental
characteristics such as sea ice density or wildfire extent; (2)
ecosystem responses to these environmental changes; (3) ecosystem
services such as provisioning of subsistence resources (e.g., moose
and other wildlife), regulatory services (e.g., wildfire risk), and
cultural benefits; and (4) responses of rural indigenous communities
to changes in these services. The successful candidate must have
strong analytical and quantitative skills that can contribute to
development of a modeling framework, an interest in interdisciplinary
research, and ability to work independently while functioning as part
of a research team.
