Postdoctoral Research Opportunity at Lehigh University, PA
Terrestrial Ecosystem Modeling
The Earth & Environmental Sciences Department at Lehigh University
has an opening for a postdostoral fellow as part of a joint effort
with the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global
Change. The project aims to improve the NCAR CLM-CN model to enable
us to study the carbon consequences of land use change and recovery
from disturbance. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity
to use the CLM-CN within the NCAR CESM or the MIT Integrated Global
Systems Model (IGSM) to explore questions related to the coupled
atmosphere-land systems, particularly with regard to future land use
change scenarios produced by MIT.
Candidates with a Ph.D. in earth sciences and related fields are
desired. Knowledge of Fortran, familiarity with C++ and IDL (or
Matlab or grads), and experience in scientific computing would be
helpful. Funding is available for 2 years, starting in January, 2012.
Future opportunities at Lehigh or MIT may become available with
additional external funding. Visit the following web pages for
additional details about our research programs

your CV and contact information for at least 3 references to Benjamin
Felzer (<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]).
