We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to join our project team using a model-experiment (ModEx) approach to explore the exciting prospect that significant dormant-season plant nitrogen (N) uptake occurs in northern forests, thereby acting to alter the overall coupled carbon-nitrogen (C-N) cycle. The postdoc will work with our project team to interpret and model measurements of 15N tracer studies of cold-season N uptake at two experimental sites. In addition, they will explore the significance of cold-season uptake in altering the coupled C-N cycle under a future climate using an Earth System Model. The postdoc will be based at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
 
The Postdoctoral Associate will be supervised by Peter Hess (BEE) and Christine Goodale (EEB) at Cornell, on a project collaborative with Qing Zhu (LLNL) and Peter Groffman (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies).
Required Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in a discipline relevant to climate/ecosystem modeling (e.g. physics, mathematics, atmospheric science, ecology, engineering).
• Proficient programming skills in at least one major scientific computing language (e.g. Fortran, Python, Julia, C++, etc.).
• Strong quantitative and data analysis skills.
• Willingness and ability to assume a leadership role in and conduct research as part of a larger team.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience and proficiency with model formulation and simulations in state-of-the-art Earth System Models.
• Experience with model formulations of the C-N cycle.
