    Closing date for applications: 13 August 2010
  • The Atmospheric Science Department at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have postdoctoral research positions available. The researchers will quantify land surface-atmosphere exchange of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) from plot to regional scales for biogeochemical process studies and inventory verification using eddy covariance measurements and atmospheric inverse modeling. Desirable strengths include mesoscale atmospheric transport modeling and statistical inverse estimation of GHG exchanges, or trace gas instrumentation development and analysis of eddy covariance flux measurements. Candidates should have a PhD and excellent written skills as exemplified by their publication record. Excellent salary, from ~ $50,000/yr, and benefits are available. For more information please email describing your interests and background. Contact at the upcoming AGU meeting would be welcome.

  • The University of Toronto are looking for two post-doctoral fellows to participate in a university-government joint project funded by the NSERC Strategic Grant Program and the Canadian Forest Service to contribute to the development of the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS). The project is funded for three years. The positions are available immediately.

  • The Forest Technology Centre of Catalonia is looking for a project manager at the postdoctoral or advanced technologist level to participate in a multinational project partially funded by the EU through the INTERREG IV-A programme: ‘ Trans-border network for the assessment and management of water, carbon and energy fluxes under climate change conditions in agricultural and grassland ecosystems in the Pyrenees (FLUXPYR)’.

  • The Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, seeks an individual to provide leadership and guidance to a program devoted to addressing scientific questions that are germane to understanding global biogeochemical cycles, their interactions with climate, and improving their numerical simulation and prediction in Earth system models.

  • Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Earth Sciences Division, seek a post doc to work on high-latitude ecosystem-climate feedbacks (methane biogeochemistry and/or dynamic vegetation) using a global coupled climate carbon-cycle model. The successful applicant will develop and test new model capabilities for the Community Land Model of CCSM, (the NCAR global climate modeling system) and evaluate the likelihood of abrupt climate change due to biogeochemical and biophysical feedbacks involving arctic and boreal ecosystems.
