Postdoctoral Scholar Position Opening – Northern Arizona University

Looking for a postdoc position? Interested in vegetation phenology? Multi-factor global change experiments? Land-atmosphere interactions? PhenoCams and near-surface remote sensing? Quantitative modeling? 

The Richardson Lab at Northern Arizona University, in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona, has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to work on these topics! The successful candidate will conduct modeling and analysis of phenological data from the SPRUCE experiment (https://mnspruce.ornl.gov/) run by DOE’s Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) in northern Minnesota. The successful candidate will primarily work with PhenoCam (http://phenocam.nau.edu) data and imagery from the site, supplemented with ground observations collected by SPRUCE technicians. Analyses will focus on the role of elevated temperature and CO2 treatments on (1) spring and autumn phenology of common boreal peatland tree and shrub species, and (2) land-atmosphere feedbacks and interactions.
