*Postdoctoral Scientist – Physiological ecology of tropical forests.*
PNNL is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist 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/). The successful candidate will lead field and laboratory investigations into leaf- to whole-tree carbon-water balance and the underlying mechanisms, including in trees of various sizes and survival likelihood, under conditions of drought and heat. The candidate will travel to multiple field sites, including sites in Central and South America as well as Australasia. The position is for one year and is renewable contingent upon performance. A Ph.D. is required. Experience with field ecology and physiological ecology measurements such as photosynthesis, sapflow, hydraulics, and carbohydrates are valuable. This position is collaborative with many US and international institutions and thus strong team work skills are required. 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. To apply please go to: https://pnnl.jibeapply.com/jobs/308203?lang=en-us <https://pnnl.jibeapply.com/jobs/308203?lang=en-us> Interested candidates can obtain additional information from Nate McDowell (nate.mcdow...@pnnl.gov <mailto:nate.mcdow...@pnnl.gov>).
