Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scholar to join an interdisciplinary research team investigating ecohydrologic and ecophysiological controls over plant responses to biophysical stress. The primary focus of the position will be to investigate how heat and drought affect agricultural crops, which is funded by NSF PGRP. Opportunities also exist to collaborate on research on stand to ecosystem scale responses of plants to drought. The successful candidate will improve upon existing biophysical process-based models by developing new ecophysiological or ecohydrological model components, implementing models in high-performance computing environments, and/or developing new methods to integrate process-based models with genotypic and phenotypic data. The selected candidate will be focused primarily on modeling, and they will have opportunities to work collaboratively on glasshouse and field-based experiments conducted by researchers at University of Wyoming, Purdue University, UC Davis, USDA ARS in Fort Collins, and University of Arizona. Candidates must be comfortable with quantitative data analysis, have experience with or a willingness to learn process-based modeling, and be trained in a biology or geoscience field.
Screening of applications will start on February 1, 2021, and the position will remain open until filled.
