----------
Two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
1) Multi-Assumption Soil Modeling
The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) group at ORNL is seeking an
individual with a passion for studying the natural world, motivated to
take on the challenge of synthesizing, building, and testing alternate
process assumptions within a model of soil organic matter dynamics. A
major component of this role will be to develop a model of soil organic
matter dynamics within the Multi-Assumption Architecture and Testbed
(MAAT, https://github.com/walkeranthonyp/MAAT), a state-of-the-art
modeling code that embraces uncertainty related to multiple hypotheses
and alternate model structures. The role is intended to be flexible to
allow you to explore your interests within the context of investigating
alternative models of soil organic matter dynamics. You will be joining
a diverse team of ecosystem ecologists using empirical and modeling
tools, working at the cutting edge of above-and-below-ground
biogeochemical interactions. You will have the opportunity to travel and
work with a number of world-class partner research groups.

2) Tropical Root Allocation and Function
The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) group at ORNL is seeking an
individual with a passion for studying the natural world, motivated to
take on the challenge of synthesizing data and building models to
understand tropical forest resource acquisition, use, and allocation;
with a focus below ground. A major component of this role will be the
synthesis and analysis of root and other data from key partners in the
ForestGEO (https://forestgeo.si.edu/) and GEM
(http://gem.tropicalforests.ox.ac.uk/) networks to help inform the
development and evaluation of resource acquisition and allocation
modules in the new Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem
Simulator (FATES). The role is intended to be flexible to allow you to
explore your interests within the context of investigating alternative
models of soil organic matter dynamics. You will be joining a diverse
team of ecosystem ecologists using empirical and modeling tools, working
at the cutting edge of above-and-below-ground resource interactions. You
will have the opportunity to travel and work with a number of
world-class partner research groups. Applicants must have received
their PhD degree within five years of the date of application and must
complete all degree requirements before starting the appointment.
