Stanford University, Stockholm University, and Ohio State University seek a
full-time postdoctoral earth scientist in remote sensing, geospatial
analyses or biogeosciences to improve spatial scaling of methane emissions
in boreal and arctic environments. The successful candidate will have
expertise in remote sensing and geospatial analysis—to refine mapping of
land forms relevant to the methane cycle—and/or experience in field sampling
of methane emissions and permafrost and peatland soils. Project
investigators include Rob Jackson (jacksonlab.stanford.edu), Gustaf Hugelius
(http://www.su.se/english/profiles/chuge-1.184251), and Kaiguang Zhao
(http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/kaiguang-zhao).  This international
collaboration is part of a larger effort to improve understanding of sources
and sinks in the global methane cycle through the Global Carbon Project
(globalcarbonproject.org). The postdoctoral scientist will also have
opportunities to interact with other researchers examining wetland and
tropical methane emissions on the same grant and to link with other
international efforts, including the Permafrost Carbon Network and COUP
(Constraining uncertainties in the permafrost-climate feedback). Send a CV,
statement of interests, and three letters of recommendation to:
[email protected]. Stanford is an equal opportunity employer;
minority applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications will be
reviewed as they are received. Please apply by February 1st, 2017, for full
consideration.
