Seeking applications for a 2yr Postdoctoral fellowship to work on a funded NASA research project focusing on quantifying biophysical and human recovery to extreme wildland fires at community and regional scales in the US northern Rockies. The postdoctoral fellow will focus on modeling and mapping of historical and current fires and the productivity recovery vectors across semi-arid and forested ecosystems. Research will also include lab and field-based experiments characterizing multi-scale responses to fire and other disturbances.
Applicants should have a completed Ph.D. degree in geography, natural resources, environmental studies, ecology, biology, remote sensing, fire science, or closely related field. Experience in publishing journal publication, strong oral and written communication skills, and demonstrated ability to work independently and with a group is desired. Experience with working with climate data, remote sensing tools and technology, and GIS software and methods is preferred. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Reviewing of applications will begin January 10, 2012. For more details contact Dr Alistair Smith: [email protected] or view the announcement at: http://www.uidaho.edu under HR/Postdoctoral Fellows.
