Position Summary:
Within GLBRC and LTAR, our group studies the net ecosystem exchanges of water, energy, CO2, CH4 and N2O at three different bioenergy crops and two land use histories. The position provides support for GLBRC and LTAR funded research focused on understanding net ecosystem exchanges of water, energy, CO2, CH4 and N2O at major bioenergy and agricultural crops, primarily through establishment of eddy-covariance flux towers.
We seek a motivated candidate to join our lab to understand how these crops function toward our sustainability goals. The candidate will be responsible for maintaining the eddy-covariance towers, processing the data for reports and publications.
We strive to provide a holistic and well-rounded experience to our Research Associates, and we recognize the importance of supporting their professional development needs to ensure their successful transition to the career of their choosing. To complement the scientific training received in their lab, Research Associates at GLBRC can:
- Attend and present at scientific research symposiums and/or conferences.
- Access cross-discipline research environments and training opportunities within GLBRC and cross-BRCs.
- Benefit from integrated career and professional development support both internally and externally.
- Participate in Outreach and Community Engagement opportunities.
- Required Degree
Doctorate -PhD in Micrometeorology, Ecosystem Studies, Soil, Ecosystem Modeling, or related field.
