<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:12pt; line-height:115%">The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center in Flagstaff, AZ is hiring a post-doctoral research associate with expertise
in plant ecology and remote sensing. The post-doc will conduct research that seeks to understand the vulnerability of vegetation to climate change in national parks across the southwestern U.S. using remote sensing approaches. The post-doc will work with a
team of scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey and natural resource managers from the National Park Service (NPS) to integrate and scale-up a large network of field-based vegetation measurements with Landsat and MODIS satellite imagery. The incumbent will
assess where vegetation is most vulnerable to climate change across the landscape and determine what physical and biotic factors most strongly influence vegetation responses. The incumbent will take the lead on writing peer-reviewed publications and information
briefs for NPS.</span></p>
