Our research team – Dr. Chris Solomon (McGill University), Dr. Yves Prairie (UQAM), and Dr. Paul del Giorgio (UQAM) – seeks a postdoctoral researcher with strong quantitative skills to join a recently funded project integrating models and data to understand aquatic carbon cycles. The postdoc will work with our team to develop and implement ‘data assimilation’ or ‘model-data fusion’ analyses of existing and new data sets, including data from whole-ecosystem experiments and large comparative surveys in Michigan and Québec, and will interact with a diverse set of collaborators in Canada and the United States. Previous experience with data assimilation or model-data fusion techniques in any research domain is highly desirable, as are skills or interests in biogeochemistry and limnology.
The initial postdoctoral appointment will be for a period of 1 year, and is renewable up to a period of at least 2 years contingent on performance. Review of applications will begin 17 August, and continue until the position is filled; expected start date is as soon as possible thereafter.To apply, send a CV, letter of interest, and contact info for three references to [email protected] (subject line: carbon modeling postdoc).
