Open postdoctoral researcher position

We seek a creative and innovative postdoctoral researcher who can lead research projects around the impacts of climate change on ecosystems to join the Anderegg Lab in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Utah. We have ongoing projects on an array of topics, including nature-based climate solutions, drought-induced tree mortality, recovery after climate extremes, disturbance and carbon dynamics, plant ecophysiology and hydraulics, carbon offsets, and ecosystem/land surface modeling. We are particularly interested in scholars to help with key new efforts around nature-based climate solutions and climate risks.

Candidates with research interests in ecosystem ecology, ecological modeling, ecophysiology, remote-sensing, or plant ecology would be strong fits. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and proficient programming skills are preferred. Interested applicants should send a current CV, a 1-2 paragraph description of research interests that specifically outlines the work the applicant would be excited to undertake in the position, and a list of 3 references to William Anderegg (anderegg@utah.edu).
