Job description
The newly founded Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is recruiting multiple research scientists, postdoctoral scholars and PhD students on ecosystem modeling, remote sensing, and advanced data analytics. Research topics for these positions include:
1) Advancing ecosystem modeling (using the ecosys model) for coupled water, carbon and nutrient cycles in managed or natural ecosystems. The candidates will work on improving existing ecosystem models or develop new modules with new theories and observational evidence.
2) Advancing ecosystem sensing (esp. Hyperspectral sensing) by integrating ground, airborne, and satellite data. The candidates will work on generating new insights and data products from geospatial big data with radiative transfer modeling, computer vision, and deep learning.
3) Advancing model-data fusion by integrating advanced ecosystem modeling with high-quality sensing data to improve the quantification of changes in various ecosystem services. The candidates will work on building effective, scalable and efficient model-data fusion solutions by leveraging advanced computation techniques and artificial intelligence.
4) Measuring and processing gas (CO2, N2O, and water vapor) and energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere using the eddy covariance technique. The candidate will work on field data collection, conducting eddy covariance data analysis to understand the mechanistic basis of mass and energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere, and modeling those processes in the ecosystem models.
