<p><b>Postdoctoral position in Grassland Ecosystem Modeling</b><br>
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Helvetica">Overview:</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span>The Still Lab at Oregon State University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher working on Earth System Modeling of grassland function and biogeography. The successful applicant will work as part of a large, interdisciplinary
team to implement, test, and analyze a new, evolutionary approach to capturing grass functional diversity and biogeography in Earth System Models. The approach, based on lineage functional types, will be based upon expansion of the grass trait database, additional
data mining of literature on grass functional traits, and model development of processes important to grass modeling. Since grasses represent about 25% of global NPP and are notoriously under-represented in modeling development and analysis, this project provides
an exciting opportunity to explore new theoretical frameworks for plant processes and contribute to the development of next generation models and answer high-profile questions about climate feedbacks and plant function. The modeling work will be done in close
collaboration with W.J. Riley at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and D. Griffith at NASA Ames Research Center.
