Postdoc: climate change and Rocky Mountain fishes
13/01/12 21:35
Consequences of Climate Change for Alpine Lake-Stream Networks and Native Fishes in the Southern Rocky Mountains
Climate change has the potential to influence western native trout through multiple pathways including increased temperatures, wildfire, and more variable precipitation and runoff patterns. These threats, along with the recreational and conservation importance of native trout, amplify the need to understand the potential consequences of climate change for these fishes. Currently, predictive models account for abiotic habitat characteristics for rivers (for example, stream temperature) that are driven by climate, but these models have little applicability to lake systems.

Postdoc: permafrost in a warming world
13/01/12 21:33
Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida
We are seeking to fill a Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida. The fellow will assist in a Department of Energy funded project focused on the fate of permafrost carbon in a warming world. The research is field and lab based, with the primary field location near Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The research foci are (1) net ecosystem carbon exchange and loss of old C from a gradient of sites undergoing permafrost thaw, and similar measurements in (2) a new experimental manipulation of permafrost thaw and water table. Radiocarbon measurements of C pools and fluxes are an important component of this project for determining the age of C losses from ecosystems.

Hydrologist/programmer position
22/10/11 02:41
The Western States Water Council (WSWC) is looking to fill an open Hydrologist/Programmer position. The WSWC is looking for an energetic recent or near graduate in hydrology with an interest in, as well as experience with computer programming. The project will focus on helping the western states develop a water use and water availability data exchange. The purpose of this is to help the western states be in a better position to support the Department of Energy's water for energy studies and USGS's Water Census as well as other water availability and water planning studies. These types of data have historically been one of the weak links in the suite of water data, and the western states are committed to try to address these issues. Read More...

Groundwater hydrologist with NEON
28/05/11 02:05
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a $430 million dollar observatory project dedicated to understanding how changes in climate, land use and invasive species impact ecology. For the next three decades NEON will collect a comprehensive range of ecological data on a continental scale across 20 eco-climatic domains representing US ecosystems. NEON will use cutting edge technology including an airborne observation platform that will capture images of regional landscapes and vegetation; mobile, relocatable, and fixed data collection sites with automated ground sensors to monitor soil and atmosphere; and trained field crews who will observe and sample populations of diverse organisms and collect soil and water data. A leading edge cyberinfrastructure will calibrate, store and publish this information. The Observatory will grow to 300+ personnel and will be the first of its kind designed to detect and enable forecasting of ecological change at continental scales.
