POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Carbon Cycle Modeling
Location: Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR
Application Closing Date: For full consideration apply by September 20
Position Summary: We invite applicants for a Research Associate (Post Doc) to join our investigation of spatial and temporal patterns in net
ecosystem production over North America doring the MODIS era (2000-present). The project is a collaborative effort between Oregon State University, the NASA Ames Research Center,
and the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory. The approach will employ both prognostic and diagnostic carbon flux models driven by distributed climate data and
remote sensing products from Landsat and MODIS. The postdoctoral scientist will have responsibility for model development, model parameter optimization using eddy covariance tower data,
and assessment of results from spatial mode application of the models. The team includes specialists in GIS, assembly of climate data and satellite data, interpretation
of satellite data, ecosystem modeling, and inverse modeling.
Employment conditions: Full-time (1.0 FTE) 12-month, fixed term faculty position with reappointment at the discretion of the
Department Head. Full-time annual salary starting at $42,500-$50,004 (U.S.) commensurate with education and experience.
Medical, dental, and life insurance group plans are available.
To Apply: When applying, upload 1) letter of application (describing background and reason for interest in this position, and the extent to which you have the required and preferred
qualifications); 2) curriculum vitae; 3) examples of senior authored publications; 4) unofficial transcripts of university work; and 5) contact information for 3 references.

GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS (GRAs)
Five GRAs (Ph.D. or M.S.) are available as early as January 1, 2008. The stipend is $19,069 - $20,412 with a full tuition waiver. To apply to the Department of Forest Science, click here, or you may be able to apply to the Molecular and Cellular Biology or Genetics Programs.
Contact Glenn Howe.
Conifer Translational Genomics Network (CTGN): The student will conduct research with the CTGN, a large multi-university team that is conducting research, education, and extension on marker-based breeding in forest trees as part of the USDA-NRI Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP) Program. Information on the CTGN can be
found here. The student will focus on quantitative genetics research aimed at discovering associations between molecular markers and quantitative traits in operational breeding programs of Douglas-fir, and will contribute to the overall research, education, and extension goals of the project. Primary traits of interest include growth, cold hardiness, and wood properties.
Pacific Northwest Tree Improvement Research Cooperative (PNWTIRC): The student will conduct research for the PNWTIRC, a cooperative of universities, governmental agencies, and private companies that conducts forest genetics research in support of applied tree improvement.
Current research topics include genetics and breeding for improved wood quality, design and management of miniaturized seed orchards, and incorporating genetic effects into growth and yield models.
