美国哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特多尔蒂地球观测研究所夏宇纾课题组招收博士后（2024 Fall）

哥伦比亚大学（英语：Columbia University in the City of New York；简称：“哥大”）是一所坐落于美国纽约曼哈顿上城区的世界著名研究型大学，也是美国常春藤盟校成员。
拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测所（英语：Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory，缩写：LDEO）是哥伦比亚大学地球研究所设立的一个研究机构, 又是属于哥伦比亚大学气候学院的科学研究中心，专注于地球科学和气候研究。其研究机构设在哥大校园内，约189 英亩（64 公顷），坐落于纽约帕利塞德（Palisades），位于曼哈顿以北 18 英里（29 公里）的哈德逊河边上。

Description
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist focusing on grassland soil carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) modeling. The successful candidate will design, parameterize, and implement a high-performance computing (HPC) platform-based modeling system which leverages remote sensing imagery, field measurements, and survey datasets with both machine learning and process-based models. The candidate will investigate climate and management effects on carbon sequestration, soil water dynamics, soil health, GHG emissions, wildlife biodiversity, and related ecosystem service outcomes to inform grassland management decisions at various scales. The candidate is expected to prepare high-quality publications and gain experience in proposal writing. The position will be based at the LDEO campus in Palisades, NY in Prof. Yushu Xia''s Soil Systems Research Group (https://xia-soil-systems-lab-columbia.squarespace.com/). The candidate will work with a highly collaborative research team from LDEO, National Audubon Society, Woodwell Climate Research Center, and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Additionally, the candidate will engage with stakeholders and land managers through large-scale conservation programs, such as Audubon''s Conservation Ranching (ACR) program.

Qualifications
Candidates should have recently completed or be nearing completion of a PhD in environmental data science, soil science, earth system science, ecology, remote sensing, computer science, or closely related field. The candidate should have demonstrated knowledge of terrestrial carbon cycling, calibration and validation of large-scale geospatial models, as well as strong data science (geospatial anaylsis, HPC and cloud computing) and coding (R, Python, Google Earth Engine) skills. Excellent oral and written communication skills, as well as the ability to network and collaborate, are also key to the success of this LDEO Postdoctoral Research Scientist position. Prior experience in digital soil mapping, soil health assessment, process-based soil modeling, and decision support tool development is strongly recommended.

The initial appointment will be for 1 year with an expected second-year continuation contingent on progress and funding. Tentative start date is August 1, 2024, with some flexibility.
The search will remain open for at least 30 days after the ad appears and will continue until the position is filled.
Columbia University benefits accompany this Officer of Research appointment.
The Lamont campus values diversity and inclusion, and encourages applications from members of underrepresented minority groups.
