3 weeks ago

Lichfield, Staffordshire, United Kingdom Utah State University Full time

Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Utah State University in a multi-disciplinary project focused on improving our understanding and prediction of above- and below-ground carbon stocks. This work, funded by the USDA-NRCS, will be applied to capturing carbon dynamics across space and time in dryland ecosystems of the western United States and around the world. The successful candidate will contribute to the characterization of carbon stocks for key ecological sites and the integration of carbon storage and sequestration into State and Transition Model frameworks. The postdoctoral researcher will link satellite- and drone-based remote sensing data with ground-based above- and below-ground carbon measurements and will use cutting-edge machine learning and related analyses to create predictive spatiotemporal models.

Responsibilities

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for developing novel hypotheses, processing and analyzing large satellite- and drone-based datasets, integrating these data with ground-based measurements, and developing innovative geospatial and statistical methods. They will be expected to publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present research at national conferences. The position is full-time and 100% research. The successful applicant will also work closely with collaborators from the USDA-NRCS and the US Geological Survey.
