Carbon Job Announcements
- Postdoctoral researcher (PhD) required to work in a Brazil-United Kingdom team, based at the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Investigation: The carbon balance in the Amazon. The position is part of the NERC (UK) and Fapesp (Brazil) - funded Projects, in the scope of Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) to estimate the carbon balance of the Amazon basin, and provides opportunities to cooperate with a multi-disciplinary team, learn new techniques and to make major scientific contributions to problems of scientific and environmental interest. The field research will be conducted especially in tropical forests and wetlands ecosystems, to measure methane and carbon dioxide fluxes with micrometeorological methods, at tower sites in Brazil (Ilha do Bananal, state of Tocantins) and in Peru (Tambopata). The successful candidate will liaise closely with scientists in the UK.
Requirements: We seek a person with experience in similar projects, including instrumentation, data collection, publication, able to work both independently and collaboratively, plan and initiate activities and to manage projects. The applicant must have good linguistic skills and readiness in Portuguese and English, effective written/oral communication skills, research skills, including data processing and analysis, demonstrated ability to conduct, publish and otherwise disseminate high-quality research in peer-reviewed journals. The appointment will be for one year up to three years, starting as soon as possible.
To apply, email a cover letter, CV and names/contact information of two references to Dr. John Grace, University of Edinburgh, UK, and to Dr. Humberto Rocha, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

- 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.
