We are looking for graduate students, post-docs , and a research engineer interested in working on Amazon forest projects (interaction between vegetation dynamics and biogeochemical cycling using ground-based sampling, eddy covariance data, and remote sensing), or on the whole-ecosystem isotopic exchange project (focusing both on field deployment in Harvard Forest, Massachusetts, and inside Biosphere 2 outside of Tucson).

We are currently seeking to fill two positions for the isotope project in Summer of 2008:

• Post-doctoral scientist for research in carbon cycle science/atmospheric chemistry/infrared absorption spectroscopy.
• Research engineer for design of instrumentation for field-based atmospheric and ecosystem measurements

We are also looking or a graduate student or post-doc with remote sensing experience for a project using LIDAR:

• Use LIDAR technologies (airborne LIDAR surveys in the Amazon of Brazil, planned for Summer of 2008) to understand forest structure and carbon balance.
  

We are accepting applications for these positions now (as of early 2008).

Beyond these ideas, if you are interested in working in my research group, please contact me. I am always happy to discuss potential research projects.
