Stanford postdoc in remote sensing of live fuel moisture from SMAP
Stanford postdoc in remote sensing of live fuel moisture from SMAP
The Remote Sensing Ecohydrology Group at Stanford University, led by Prof.
Alex Konings is looking for a new postdoc. One of the main research threads
in our group concerns the development and use of microwave remote
sensing-based proxies of vegetation water content, which depends on live
fuel moisture (which, in turn, is expected to co-vary with plant water
potential) as well as vegetation structure and biomass and temperature.
Disentangling live fuel moisture?s effect on VOD would enable a range of
applications related to understanding vegetation?s response to water
stress.
The postdoc would work to build new retrieval algorithms to determine live
fuel moisture content (which is related to leaf water potential) from
L-band SMAP observations, spaceborne lidar (to account for biomass
effects), and additional supplementary data. The project could use either
physically based and/or machine learning approaches.
If you have strong computational and communication skills and experience
working with microwave remote sensing, spaceborne lidar, retrieval of
geophysical variables, and/or machine learning, you may be a great fit for
this position. To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to Alex Konings
at konings@stanford.edu. The pay is commensurate with experience, and is
adjusted for the high cost of living in the Palo Alto, CA area where
Stanford is located. An in-person appointment would be preferred because of
university regulations, although a partially remote position (if the
candidate is based in the US) could be discussed.

PostDoc position at LMU Munich in induced seismicity
PostDoc position at LMU Munich in induced seismicity
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (Geophysics Section) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich, Germany, is seeking applications from enthusiastic young researchers for a 3-year postdoctoral position funded by the state of Bavaria (Germany). The project entitled “Geothermie Allianz Bayern (GAB3.0) Teilprojekt Induzierte Seismizität” joins research groups from LMU and the Technical University Munich and aims to evaluate and mitigate the risk of ground shaking on the building stock by induced /triggered seismicity. The advertised postdoctoral position concerns the seismological part of the project. One prominent aim is the coupling of physical models of wave propagation with surrogate models and/or AI methods (e.g., GANs) to prognose the ground shaking in a detailed but still cost effective way. Beside these AI based developments the successful applicant will also work in close connection to an already established working group on adaptive traffic light systems which are based on a coupled FEM/ADER-DG schema. In the GAB3.0 project the focus lies on a wider range of geothermal reservoirs rather than hydrothermal reservoirs. Further milestones of the workplan include studies on the usability of dark fiber DAS networks to help to estimate area wide PGV maps as well as experiments to estimate the in situ stress orientation at reservoir level using novel six degree of freedom (rotational & translational motion) measurements. The successful candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. in Earth or related sciences. Ideally the candidate has experience with one of the current wavefield simulation and multi-physics modeling codes (e.g., specfem, seissol, salvus, moose, or else) and preferably some experience with ML/AI methods. The Department has a powerful Linux-cluster (partly equipped with gpus) and access to local supercomputer facilities (lrz.de). More information can be found at www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.dehttp://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/. Complete applications must include a statement of research interests (one page), CV, publication list, and names and addresses of at least two referees. Deadline for applications is May 01, 2025. Later applications may be considered until the position is filled. Applications should be sent to: Dr. Joachim Wassermann, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Theresienstrasse 41, 80333 Munich, Germany, e-mail: J.Wassermann@lmu.dehttp://mailto:J.Wassermann@lmu.de.

Description
The Webster Lab is hiring 1 technician to assist with data collection in the Teakettle Experimental Forest for a multi-year project aimed at understanding the impacts of prescribed fire on water quality of mountain streams. Teakettle is located 80 km east of Fresno, CA, and consists of 1300 hectares of old-growth, mixed conifer forest at ~2200 m elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. After 136 years of absence, fire was brought back to the Teakettle in 2001, and a history of research has unfolded since.
More information about Teakettle can be found here (https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fresearch.fs.usda.gov%2Fpsw%2Fforestsandranges%2Flocations%2Fteakettle&data=05%7C02%7Cwstevenh%40vt.edu%7C2237fc2939a84106011d08dd63113768%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638775647804024915%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TRFPO%2BmEnzRQ19WJS%2FjHdmyQ886xtqYJqbZa2CWD9A4%3D&reserved=0), while information about the Webster Lab at the University of New Mexico can be found here (https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Falexjwebster.weebly.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cwstevenh%40vt.edu%7C2237fc2939a84106011d08dd63113768%7C6095688410ad40fa863d4f32c1e3a37a%7C0%7C0%7C638775647804039943%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=tVLi8wsiXW6q7%2F3gzRKsjKdbkK%2BmG8SRBfm%2BxKlN7m0%3D&reserved=0).

The Spivak Coastal Biogeochemistry Lab seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to investigate how fluctuating abiotic gradients affect coupled ecological and biogeochemical processes in coastal wetlands. More specifically, how do ecosystem processes change across abiotic gradients and does variability increase near habitat transitions. The Researcher will lead field experiments in the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) domain and collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of population, community, and microbial ecologists and hydrologists, among others. Complementary lab experiments will be used to understand fine-scale mechanisms controlling carbon cycling and fate.
Responsibilities:
- Lead field and lab experiments based on abiotic gradients in GCE-LTER wetlands.
- Use multiple, complementary ecological and geochemical approaches.
- Lead data analysis, manuscript preparation, and publication.
- Present results at relevant conferences and project meetings.
- Mentor junior students and lab members.
Qualifications and experience
- Ph.D. in Geoscience, Marine Science, Environmental Science, or related field.
- Knowledge of wetland biogeochemistry and ecology.
- Experience with organic and inorganic soil and porewater analyses and greenhouse gas analyzers.
- Experience conducting field work in wetlands and ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
- Experience analyzing and visualizing data in R and / or Matlab.
- Excellent interpersonal, teamwork, written, and verbal communication skills.
- Demonstrated record of publication in scientific journals.
- Ability to work with minimal supervision and provide supervision and mentorship to others.

The agency owns and operates the Yuba River Development and Narrows 1 Projects, which includes New Bullards Bar, Log Cabin, and Our House dams. Water released from New Bullards Bar travels to the New Colgate and Narrows I and II powerhouses, where it is used to generate renewable, carbon-free electricity. Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Yuba River Development Project significantly reduces flood risk and ensures a reliable water supply for the people of Yuba County.
