Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the University of Georgia. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research related to compound threats from tropical storms, heat, and drought and their effects on the carbon cycle of coastal and inland forests in Central and North America.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop a dataset of compound events (two or more meteorological events that occur at the same time or in close succession)
  • Analyze data from multiple sources from remote sensing (satellite and LiDAR) and forest census data to understand the impacts of different combinations of extreme events on the forest carbon cycle
  • Collaborate with modelers to determine gaps in understanding in modeling disturbances and help fill these gaps with the analysis done in the project
Requirements:
  • PhD in ecology, geography, atmospheric sciences or a related field
  • Experience working with large datasets, preferably with some combination of the datasets we will use (Landsat, measurements of vegetation state such as LAI, EVI, SIF, meteorological datasets, forest census data, hydraulic traits)
  • Understanding of forest carbon cycle dynamics and disturbances
  • Evidence of an understanding of how their research fits into broader research field through publication of results as lead author
  • Experience orally presenting results in a conference, workshop, or research group setting
What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary and benefits package
  • The opportunity to work with a diverse and talented research team
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment
  • Professional development opportunities
How to Apply:

Interested candidates should submit their application, including a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three professional references, to [a.harper@uga.edu](mailto:a.harper@uga.edu). We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from diverse candidates.
