Specifically focusing on case studies of the Southern Rockies. The Post-doc is expected to contribute to collaborative projects and to the publication of peer-reviewed journal papers and non-technical products for diverse audiences on wildfire treatment outcomes.
This Post doc position is specifically tasked with contributing geospatial technical and analytical skills towards developing and customizing treatment layers and wildfire remotely sensed data in Colorado and the Interior West.
