Dear Ecolog I am looking to hire two new data scientist postdocs to join the PhenoCam project (http://phenocam.sr.unh.edu<http://phenocam.sr.unh.edu/>), and I am sending this email because I have extended the application deadline TO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12.
Applicants for both positions should be skilled in programming and analysis with R, and should be interested in ecological applications of big data.I anticipate significant interaction and collaboration between the two postdocs hired, with members of the PhenoCam team at NAU, UNH, BU and Cornell, and with collaborators at USGS. The first postdoc (NAU Job ID 603576) will synthesize phenological data from PhenoCam, satellite remote sensing, ground observations, and gridded data products. The second postdoc (NAU Job ID 603575) will develop phenological models for key vegetation types and analyze the role of phenology in regulating biosphere-atmosphere interactions and feedbacks using empirical and model-based approaches. The listing for each position, as well as an online application, can be found by going to this web page, clicking “Search Jobs Now”, and entering either the ID numbers above (603575 and 603576) or PhenoCam as a keyword: https://nau.edu/Human-Resources/Careers/Staff-Welcome-Page/ Both positions are available immediately. A separate application is required for each position, but I am happy for applicants to submit applications for both positions and I would encourage qualified applicants to do so. Applications must be submitted online through the NAU HR web page. Flagstaff’s phenomenally beautiful setting, excellent recreational and outdoor opportunities, superb weather, and relaxed culture make this a wonderful place to live, work, and enjoy life!
