Three Postdoctoral Research Associates in
Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions at Duke University
Three post-doctoral positions are available starting in the spring of
2012 in the groups of Professors Gabriel Katul, Ram Oren, and Sari
Palmroth (Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University) and
Amilcare Porporato (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Duke University). The positions are for 1 year each, renewable up to 2-3
years depending on funding. We are looking for motivated candidates,
having strong background in one or more of the following areas:
Computational fluid mechanics or hydraulics, biosphere-atmosphere
numerical modeling, and field research / experience in eddy-covariance
methods and corollary approaches. Background in engineering or physics
is desirable but not required.
The successful candidates will join a team of students and post-doctoral
fellows working on constraining the simultaneous effects of elevated
atmospheric CO2, temperature, and shifts in rainfall patterns on
ecosystem carbon fluxes using multi-scale resource optimization
theories, hydraulic controls on carbon cycling and water/energy exchange
rates of Southern Conifers, and Micrometeorological methods for
inferring whole canopy evapotranspiration in large agricultural structures.
Further information can be obtained via e-mail (gaby at duke dot edu) or

Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, and the names of
three references to Prof. Gabriel Katul, Nicholas School of the
Environment, Box 90328, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0328.
Applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
