Vacancy: Post Doc Position at Tennessee State University (USA)

Institution: Tennessee State University
Location: Nashville, TN, USA
Category: Administrative/Professional
Posted: 06/6/2012
Application Due: open until filled
Type: Full Time
A post-doc position is available to join a research group focused on eddy covariance and chamber measurements, and modeling of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, plant growth, irrigation and fertilization for agricultural lands. Prospective candidates need to have a strong background in boundary layer meteorology, as well as extensive IT and programming skills.
The position is aimed to improve the capabilities of an existing plant growth model to simulate the soil-water-fertilizer-plant-air interaction to improve water and fertilizer efficiency and yield, and reduce GHGs. Finally, the model will be converted to an online geospatial tool so that stakeholders can easily access and use.
Requires a PhD in boundary-layer meteorology, computer science, ecology, agricultural engineering, geospatial information, or related field; modeling and instrumentation (eddy covariance) experience preferred; demonstrated record of writing and/or publishing of manuscripts.
