Two Postdoctoral Positions at Center on Global Change

(1) Regional Biogeosciences and Environmental Sciences:
Duke University’s Center on Global Change and Nicholas School of the Environment & Earth Sciences seek an earth scientist in biogeosciences, ecology, hydrology, modeling, or remote sensing to analyze the interactions of climate change with terrestrial ecosystems in the southeastern U.S. The candidate will contribute to Dept. of Energy efforts (http://www.niccr.duke.edu/) to study and synthesize climate change effects in the region. Approaches may include remote sensing of ecosystem change, field experiments, and/or regional modeling.

The scientist will have access to field facilities at Duke, including the forest FACE experiment of elevated CO2 and N fertilization (http://face.env.duke.edu/). For more information see http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/cgc/ and http://www.biology.duke.edu/jackson

(2) Climate Change, Biofuels and Agriculture:
Postdoctoral position in Duke’s Center on Global Change and Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. We seek a scientist with experience in biogeosciences, plant ecology, agriculture, hydrology, modeling or remote sensing to analyze interactions of climate change with agricultural systems in the U.S. An applicant could also combine economic modeling and forecasting for the agricultural market sector; such efforts might include synthesizing climate change effects on crop production, and interactions between alternative fuel market growth and food and feed production capacity.
