The successful candidate will be hired at the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at NCSU as soon as possible and explore the influence of climate variability on mountainous forests using available (unpublished) observational data, advanced modeling, and quantitative analytics.
This position is part of the DOE-funded Watershed Function Science Focus Area (watershed.lbl.gov), which investigates how mountainous watershed functions respond and adapt in the face of increasingly warmer and drier conditions.
