*Position: Post-Doctoral Research Associate *
*Focus: Field-Based Remote Sensing of Amazon Forest Carbon Dynamics* *Institution: University of Arizona * Applications are invited for a creative Post-Doctoral scientist with experience in field-instrumentation, remote sensing, and/or modeling to join an interdisciplinary collaboration under the Green Ocean Amazon (GOAmazon) experiment in Brazil (jointly funded by U.S. DOE, and the Brazilian Sao Paulo State and Amazonas State Science foundations). The science goal is to use novel methods at leaf, canopy, landscape, and regional scales to discover how environmental and ecological mechanisms jointly regulate the seasonality of photosynthesis in tropical forest canopies. The candidate will work as part of a team of Brazilian and U.S. collaborators, but will focus on analysis and interpretation of cutting edge tower-based camera systems (for recording hyperspectral images of the forest canopy, and hemispherical radiometric images of the downwelling radiation field) and integration with associated *in situ* and remote sensing data (including leaf-scale measurements and airborne LiDAR surveys and satellite observations). The focus is on comparing two moist tropical forest sites (near Manaus and Santarem in the Amazon region of Brazil). A Ph.D. and research experience in remote sensing/image processing, atmospheric radiation, or biometeorology, is desirable. The successful candidate should be highly motivated, have strong communication skills, and have ability to both take a leadership role for specific project components and collaborate with members of a broad international and interdisciplinary team.
