Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Postdoctoral positions: Forest Ecosystem Modeling in China

The National Engineering Laboratory for Applied Forest Ecological Technology in Southern China at the Central South University of Forestry and Technology (CSUFT), Changsha, Hunan, China is seeking two postdoctoral researchers in forest ecosystem modeling. The positions are part of a larger project assessing the effect of natural disturbance and human management practice on carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry of forest ecosystems in Southern China. The successful candidates will conduct researches that include the development, parameterization, testing, analysis, and application of models that simulate the carbon and nitrogen dynamics at local and regional scales. Requirements for the positions include (1) a Ph.D. in forest ecology, ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry modeling, or a closely related field, (2) strong backgrounds in data statistic analysis, mathematical modeling and computer programming, (3) research experience in ecological simulation models, and (4) excellent !
 communication (written and oral) and interpersonal skills.

The position is full-time (12-month appointment) for two years with potential for renewal. Preferred start date is March-April 2011. This position will be based in CSUFT, but will have the opportunity to work with a group of scientists in Governors State University, Illinois.

To apply, please email: (1) a cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) contact information of tree references to: Dr. Wende Yan (csfuywd at hotmail.com) or/and Dr. Xiaoyong Chen (x-chen at govst.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the position is filled.
