The Woods Hole Research Center is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to play 
a major role in projects designed to determine the carbon balance of

satellite-derived spatial data sets, and modeling forest dynamics. The 
ideal candidate will have experience modeling, managing large data sets, 
GIS, and error analysis.  Experience with Forest Inventory and Analysis 
(FIA) data would also be helpful.  The position requires a high level of 
understanding and has the potential for advancement in a growing 
institution.

 

This fellowship is an at-will position funded for two years with the 
possibility of a third year dependent on funding and performance.

 

Start date: Fall 2006.

 

Qualifications:  A Ph.D. in ecology, forestry, environmental science, or 
related field is required.

 

Application deadline: September 15, 2006

 

Application Instructions:  E-mail cover letter, résumé, and three 
references to jobsearch at whrc.org.

 

The Woods Hole Research Center's emphasis in research is on ecosystems 
and includes such global issues as biotic impoverishment, climatic 
change, sustainable development, the role of biotic resources in support 
of contemporary civilization, and the interactions of science and public 
affairs.
