Postdoctoral Position at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Summary: A postdoctoral fellowship is available within the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division’s Terrestrial Processes team to develop and apply coupled process models to assess climate impacts on, and feedbacks from, terrestrial ecosystems in arctic and subarctic regions. The successful applicant must have a strong background in numerical simulation model development, and the desire to co-develop models that span processes ranging from ecosystem dynamics to soil mechanics in permafrost dominated environments. The postdoc will work within an interdisciplinary team of research scientists, postdocs and graduate students focused on understanding and predicting the consequences of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems.

Additionally, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with researchers from other federal and academic institutions. Required skills include experience developing, testing and applying numerical simulation models, demonstrated ability to publish peer-reviewed papers, effective written and oral communication skills, willingness to work in a team environment, and a Ph.D. pending or received within the last five years. Desired skills include knowledge of one or more of the following areas: terrestrial climate change models, vegetation physiology and dynamics, ecology, multiphase subsurface flow and transport, biogeochemistry, soil mechanics, and other earth surface and subsurface disciplines.

Outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Director's, Oppenheimer, Feynman or Reines Fellowships.
