Re-post. The two positions are still open and applications are sought from qualified applicants.
Two postdoctoral positions are available at the Landscape Ecology and Ecosystem Sciences (LEES) Lab of the University of Toledo to study carbon, water and energy exchange at ecosystem and regional levels. Field sites include Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, and Inner Mongolia in China. The positions require ability to synthesize existing data, aid regional and continental up-scaling efforts and identify priority areas for future research. The candidates must have a PhD, at least one degree in biological sciences, a thorough understanding of ecosystem processes (especially aboveground-belowground feedbacks), good quantitative skills and a strong publication record. Experience with eddy covariance, computer programming, modeling, database development or micrometeorology is desired. Experience with maintaining and troubleshooting research instruments would be an asset. Both positions involve some field-work and travel and occasional work under inclement weather. The appointments are for 3 years with progress evaluation after the first year. For Job # 2110, experience with statistical analysis of large datasets is required, preferably with SAS, S-Plus or R. Experience with leaf- or soil gas exchange is highly desirable, as is experience in coordinating field projects. For Job # 2115, experience with ERDAS and ArcInfo and ground-validating remotely sensed information is required. Experience with spatial statistics or spatial modeling is highly desirable. To apply, submit a cover letter (include job #), a CV, and the names and contact information for three professional references to: The University of Toledo, Human Resources Department, Toledo, Ohio 43606-3390; Fax (419) 530-1490; or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use only one method of application. The review of applications will begin in Feb. 17, 2006, and will continue until the positions are filled. For additional information see http://research.eeescience.utoledo.edu/lees/.
