Two postdoctoral positions

Note: The following positions are not yet posted, but feel free to reach out to Dr. Keenan with enquiries if interested.

Open: The DOE-funded HELIOS project, focused on drought, heat and wildfire impacts on coastal water relations. A key focus of this project will be examining ecological responses to compound and sequential extreme events, and the resulting impact on coastal water resources, both in recent decades and over the coming century. The ideal candidate would have either familiarity with large scale models (e.g., CESM, E3SM), streamflow models and observations, eddy-covariance measurements and/or machine learning based emulators. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and an interest in developing skills in any of the above areas are also encouraged to apply.

Open: The NASA-funded SMAP project, focused on quantify the role of water in regulating global ecosystem state and function. A key focus of this project will be examining ecological responses to changes in both soil moisture amount and state, using retrievals from NASAs Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. The ideal candidate would have familiarity with remote sensing, eddy-covariance measurements and/or machine learning methods. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and an interest in developing skills in any of the above areas are also encouraged to apply.
