Climate legacies and the C cycle Northern Arizona University is advertising a postdoc position focused on quantifying the legacy effects of extreme climate events on carbon cycle processes in drylands of the western US. The postdoc would have the opportunity to work with tree-ring data or ecosystem flux data from eddy covariance tower networks. Projects may explore how trees or ecosystems are impacted by prolonged drought, flash droughts, pluvial events, or heatwaves, with the goal of understanding the legacy effects of such events on productivity, carbon fluxes, or evapotranspiration. The postdoc will be supervised by Dr. Kiona Ogle and will collaborate with other team members involved in the NSF-funded project on "Climate legacies and timescales of influence on carbon cycle processes in drylands." The postdoc may co-supervise PhD students and is expected to contribute to outreach and training activities. Applicants should possess strong analytical and computing skills; knowledge of Bayesian statistics, machine learning methods, and R is desired. Applicants should also possess strong writing abilities and oral communication skills and be able to work as an effective member of a collaborative group. Applicants must submit: (1) curriculum vitae, (2) cover letter describing interest in the project and qualifications relevant to the position, and (3) contact information for at least 3 professional references.
