Postdoctoral Researcher and Ph.D. students to study climate change and air quality We have an excellent opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher and two Ph.D. students to study multiple climate between atmosphere and land interactions, including wildfire, black carbon and forest management, across a large latitudinal gradient in a global scale. Our goal is to estimate the ability of atmosphere and land to keep pace with climate change, given rising temperatures, thawing lands and multiple interacting between atmosphere and land over the world. The successful candidate would join Joshua Fu research group and collaborators in Oak Ridge National Laboratory and others in UN and WMO. Capitalizing on a rich and underutilized empirical dataset of atmosphere including deposition, the successful candidate will work with the research group at UT and Oak Ridge to improve how DOE’s Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) and ELM-FATES (Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator) accounts for landscape-scale processes, such as future wildfires, thereby improving Earth system models that project future global carbon cycle dynamics including chemistry reactions and climate such as air quality and depositions. Required qualifications: Ph.D. in relevant field, excellent programming skills in Fortran, C/C++, R, excellent skills using ArcMa or NCL and experience in data mining of ecological, environmental or climatic databases, mainly biomass uncertainty quantification and AI applications. Desired qualifications: experience in ecosystem, atmosphere and land surface/carbon cycle climate modeling. The position will be located at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and Oak Ridge National Laboratory at Oak Ridge in Tennessee, USA. If you are interested or make a recommendation, please contact Dr. Joshua Fu ([email protected]) with the subject line “Research Position Application”. --
