Two postdoc positions in Rob Jackson’s Lab at Stanford University:
1) Land-use and climate change, and 2) water and greenhouse gas
interactions of shale gas and hydraulic fracturing
The School of Earth Sciences, Woods Institute for the Environment, and
Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University seek two full-time
scientists in earth sciences, hydrology, ecology, biogeosciences or
remote sensing to contribute to two projects.
The first project, funded by USDA, examines the consequences of drought
in the central U.S. on tree mortality and the carbon balance of the
region. It examines the spatial extent of tree die-off, the underlying
mechanisms behind tree mortality, and the consequences for regional
carbon storage.
The second project continues our long-term interest in the water and
carbon consequences of different energy technologies. The funded
project focuses on unconventional natural gas and oil extraction and
asks two questions: 1) What are the water intensity,
wastewater-generation, and drinking-water interactions of unconventional
natural gas and oil extraction, and 2) How much methane and ethane are
emitted to the atmosphere during the extraction and distribution of
natural gas and oil compared to biological sources?
Send a CV, statement of interests, and three letters of recommendation
to: rob.jack...@stanford.edu. Stanford is an equal opportunity employer;
minority applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications will
be reviewed as they are received. Please apply by April 15th, 2014 for
full consideration.
For many more postdoctoral positions, please take a look at the ESA
Ecophys site, which I try to keep updated on a daily basis:
