Postdoctoral Scholar

The Postdoctoral Scholar will join a highly collaborative research team within the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS) at NAU and will work closely with Dr. Michelle Mack, Dr. Xanthe Walker, and Dr. Ted Schuur. The project integrates field-based measurements, soil biogeochemistry, radiocarbon dating, and quantitative modeling to estimate soil carbon turnover, fluxes, and long-term stability following wildfire and fuel treatments.

Fire Manager

The Prescribed Fire Manager provides support to the Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana BU for fire management activities related to prescribed fires, wildfires, fire training and fire qualifications (See TNC’s Fire Management Manual). With prescribed burn qualifications including National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Prescribed Fire Manager (RXMG) and Prescribed Fire Burn Boss Type 2 (RXB2), the position reviews and approves fire management plans, prescribed burn plans, and contractor qualifications.

Postdoctoral Scholar: Developing modeling tools

The Ecological Restoration Institute, working in collaboration with the Rocky Mountain Research Station, seek a Postdoctoral Scholar to develop next-generation modeling tools that simulate a predefined range of silvicultural and fuels treatments and serve as the foundation for spatially explicit vegetation dynamics projections over 10–20 year planning horizons.

Research Associate I, Fire Behavior Assessment Team

Position is a collaboration between the University of Idaho, the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station, and National Forest System Region 5.
