I don't think this job ad has appeared on Ecolog-L yet. Xi Yang says the
position is still open despite the review date listed in the official ad.
The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia
(UVA) seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to understand the
environmental and biotic controls of vegetation photosynthesis from
multiple spatial scales. The successful candidate will be working on
leaf to canopy level measurements of solar-induced fluorescence (SIF)
and its linkage to plant photosynthesis. The postdoc will be designing
and conducting controlled experiments in the University of Virginia
greenhouse. The postdoc will also be responsible for making canopy SIF
measurements at several forested sites, and analyzing the environmental
and biotic controls of the SIF-GPP relationship. The postdoc will
prepare a manuscript, based on the modeling work, for publication in a
peer-reviewed journal. The postdoc will work directly with Xi Yang in
the Department of Environmental Sciences. A Ph.D. in plant physiology,
ecology, earth system science, remote sensing, or a related field is
required. Experience with leaf gas exchange measurements and greenhouse
experiments is preferred. Strong skills in verbal and written
communication of scientific results, ability to work both independently
and collaboratively as a member of interdisciplinary teams, and ability
to organize, prioritize, and coordinate multiple tasks are critical
skills. This position will remain open until filled. Contact Xi Yang
([email protected]) for more information. To apply and see the full
