Postdoctoral Scholar - Vegetation in drought development

There is an opening for a creative and self-motivated postdoctoral scholar position in the group of Prof. Keenan (http://www.keenangroup.info/) at UC Berkeley.This individual will participate in the NSF-funded PREEVENTS project, aimed at advancing efforts to understand and forecast flash droughts. The work will be focused on the central role of vegetation in drought development through its influence on soil moisture and heat fluxes.To do so, the postdoctoral researcher will use eddy-covariance observations, remote sensing, machine learning and land surface models to improve our understanding of local to global drought and ecological forecasting.

The recruitment will remain open until filled.
