We seek a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the area of Savanna ecosystem and land surface modelling. The candidate will be engaged in dynamic and multidisciplinary team to work Ｏn an ARC funded program Ｏn Australian Savanna Landscapes: Past, Present and future. The appointee will assess how Australian savanna systems function (carbon and water cycles) in the present, how sensitive they have been to past climate variability and how they may respond to future change. This will involve identifying gaps in models used to project climate in savanna biomes and improve them to ultimately dynamically generate current, past and future savanna vegetation patterns and responses. A Ph.D. in climate science or ecosystem process or related discipline is necessary. Demonstrated research track record is required in ecosystem and land surface modelling. Experience in landscape modelling and model intercomparisons would be an advantage.
The position may be taken up at Monash University (Melbourne), University of Technology Sydney (Sydney) or Charles Darwin University (Darwin) Australia depending Ｏn the best match to skills and supervisors. More information at www.arts.monash.edu.au/ges/research/climate/savannafutures.
