font-size: 10pt;">The Department of Earth and
Atmospheric Sciences at the City College of the
City University of New York has an opening for a
full-time postdoctoral research associate. The
successful applicant will join a
multi-disciplinary, multi-institution, NASA-funded
research team that focuses on better understanding
the role of tidal wetlands and estuaries in
coastal carbon cycling, and the potential
responses and services of coastal wetlands in a
changing climate. By integrating advanced remote
sensing observations of coastal environments,
including wetlands, tidal systems, and aquatic
environments with new mechanistic carbon cycling
modeling, this research effort will improve
understanding of key carbon exchange processes at
the land-ocean interface, and examine
human-wetland-ocean-atmosphere interactions. This
is a joint research effort with NASA, NOAA, USGS,
the Smithsonian Institution, Pennsylvania State
University, University of Maryland, University of
Delaware, University of Florida, the Virginia
Institute of Marine Science, and the Department of
Energy. <span style="letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Partnering
with relevant stakeholders from EPA, NOAA’s
National Estuarine Research Reserve System, and
the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality, the project will also enhance existing
capabilities of using remote sensing and
modeling tools for adaptive resource management.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span
style="font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 10pt;">The position requires a PhD in
Environmental Sciences, Engineering, or similar
field, and expertise in remote sensing data
analysis and algorithm development. The successful
candidate will participate in studies that involve
refined retrievals of near-shore biogeochemical
variables from ocean color satellite imagery
(e.g., SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS), and advanced
remote sensing characterization of tidal wetland
area extent, vegetation communities and inundation
regimes using satellite and aircraft remote
sensing data (e.g., Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
datasets, <span style="color: black;
letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">ALOS PALSAR, PALSAR-2,
SENTINAL,S</span>MAP, Landsat, ASTER, UAVSAR).
They will also have the opportunity to be involved
in preparation efforts and field activities for
NASA's future satellite missions, including PACE,
GEOCAPE, HyspIRI, and NISAR. Highly motivated
candidates with strong interest on
interdisciplinary research at the
land-ocean-atmosphere interface are particularly
encouraged to apply. </span></p>

"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-size: 10pt;">The post-doc will work
closely with Professor Maria Tzortziou (CCNY and
NASA/Goddard) and Professor Kyle McDonald (CCNY
and NASA/JPL), and will also have the opportunity
to interact closely with other members of our
multi-institutional team. The position is for two
years, beginning as soon as it can be filled, with
the possibility of renewing for three or more
years depending on performance and funding.</span></p>

full CV with complete publications list (accepted,
in press, and in-review), (ii) statement of
research interests, and (iii) contact information
for 3 references to Dr. Maria Tzortziou (<a
