*Post-bachelors technician – Physiological ecology of tropical forests.*
PNNL is recruiting a post-bachelors technician to improve understanding
and prediction of tropical forest carbon-water balance and survival
under climatic extremes as part of the NGEE-Tropics project
(Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiment-Tropics;
https://ngee-tropics.lbl.gov/ <https://ngee-tropics.lbl.gov/>). The
successful applicant will support the NGEE-Tropics through advanced
technical work aimed at understanding the carbon-water balance of
tropical ecosystems in response to a changing environment. The job
includes both laboratory and a large component of field work, including
field sampling in locations such as the Amazon, Panama, Puerto Rico, and
tropical Australia. The applicant will take a large role in collecting,
processing, and analyzing physiological data (eg. hydraulic and
carbon-based traits of trees) from these sites. The position is based
in Richland, Washington at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The
position will include a large amount of collaborative science between
multiple DOE labs and international collaborators, and thus requires
excellent teamwork skills.
Required qualifications include experience conducting field and lab work
in ecology, plant physiology, or related disciplines. The ability to
work independently and in a team environment is required. Prior
experience with measuring photosynthesis, sapflow, leaf water potential,
and other physiological process measurements is preferred, as is prior
experience with manuscript preparation.
Applications should include the following in a single package:
* Cover letter describing the applicant’s research experience and interests.
* Curriculum vitae with a list of publications in refereed journals.
* Names and addresses of three references.
