In recent years, Douglas-fir mortality in southern Oregon caused by flat-headed fir borer ( FFB ) has risen dramatically to almost 500,000 trees, and increasing FFB populations have been observed from California to Canada. The large numbers of dead and dying trees are dangers to humans and infrastructure, contribute to elevated dead fuel loadings, and alter habitat quality and timber value. The USDA Forest Service has provided funding for a study to increase understanding of Douglas-fir mortality from flatheaded fir borer and biophysical conditions in Oregon and California and identify locations that are potentially vulnerable to future disturbance. A plot-level statistical model will be developed to understand drivers and identify where near-term tree mortality will occur. A second coarser-resolution model will be developed over larger spatial scales using different data sets. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for analyzing the data sets; developing, interpreting, and applying the two statistical models; and submitting peer-reviewed publications and presenting findings at scientific conferences and stakeholder workshops. Required Experience · Experience developing and applying advanced statistical analysis and modeling to address ecological or geographic questions (e.g., multivariate models, generalized linear and additive models, random forests). · Strong programming skills and ability to write code for analysis and modeling (e.g., experience using R). · Familiarity with forest disturbance ecology. · Demonstrated oral and written communication skills, including delivering scientific presentations to technical and non-technical audiences.

is available in the Department of Physics at the University of Idaho. The primary focus of this position is advancing numerical relativity methods for compact binary systems. Specifically, the scholar will conduct research in numerical relativity by extending the Einstein Toolkit, BlackHoles@Home, and the superB project to perform state-of-the-art simulations of compact binaries (including, for example, binary black holes, binary neutron stars, and black hole-neutron star binaries). The broader goals are to generate accurate predictions for gravitational-wave and multimessenger signals and to explore challenging regimes of parameter space.

Job Summary/Basic Function: Serves in a temporary position that enables an individual with their Ph.D. to continue their training as a researcher and gain skills and experience that will prepare them for their research career in academia or elsewhere. As a postdoc, the position can perform mostly independent research, collaborate on a multi-scholar research initiative, or even may have lead responsibility for discrete components of a larger research project or program, all while under the general direction of a senior or principal researcher. Department Overview: A postdoctoral research position is available in the LEAF lab at Boise State University (************************************ funded by the USDA Agricultural Research Service. The successful applicant will work with a collaborative team to improve streamflow forecasts in mountain watersheds of the Western US by integrating spatiotemporal data through AI/ML and physics-based snow modeling approaches. The position is based in the Department of Geosciences at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. Level Scope: After earning a Ph.D., the next step in the academic or research career path is often a postdoc. A postdoc is a continuation of a researcher's training that enables them to further their professional development and start to transition from student to independent researcher. Postdocs also often take additional leadership or teaching responsibilities in their laboratory or department. These positions are usually two to three years and it is not unusual for a researcher to do more than one postdoc. Essential Functions: 60% of Time the Postdoctoral Research Fellow may: ● Problem solve research challenges and model development, as applicable. This will take the form of creating a long-term spatiotemporally distributed snow mass and energy dataset using a physically based model, using a unique hydrometeorological dataset for the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, and then apply Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods to integrate observed streamflow to reveal insights into spatiotemporal controls on runoff generation and streamflow. ● Contribute discrete components of a larger project under the general direction of a senior or principal researcher. ● Prepare complete documentation of research activities for reference purposes, including following applicable data management protocols. ● Analyze, interpret, and document research findings for review. ● Compare actual and expected results and suggest solutions to correct the deviations. ● Evaluate existing research or modeling techniques and recommend improvements to ensure quality and productivity. ● Assist in the preparation of proposals and reports. ● Assist in teaching classes. 35% of Time the Postdoctoral Research Fellow may: ● Prepare presentations for appropriate science meetings and conferences ● Manage the preparation, submission, and revision of peer-reviewed journal articles. 5% of Time the Postdoctoral Research Fellow will: Perform other duties as assigned. Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: ● The selected candidate must be able to meet eligibility requirements for work in the United States at the time the appointment is scheduled to begin and to continue working legally for the proposed term of the appointment. ● Excellent teamwork and communication skills. ● Scientific writing skills demonstrated through peer reviewed publications. ● Ability to acquire accurate, reproducible data. ● Critical eye towards consistency, reproducibility, and the scientific method in general. ● Excellent project and time management skills. ● Strong interpersonal skills and mentoring skills. ● Advocate for safety and ethics in the work place. ● Extensive experience using scientific programming languages like Python or R to analyze hydrologic and geospatial data. ● Experience building or applying machine learning models. ● Prior experience using spatially distributed hydrologic models, specifically those with snow mass and energy balance components Minimum Qualifications: Requires a minimum of a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in a relevant discipline. Preferred Qualifications: ● Extensive experience using scientific programming languages like Python or R to analyze hydrologic and geospatial data. ● Prior experience using high-performance computing and/or cloud computing environments for scientific computation. ● Experience building or applying machine learning models. ● Prior experience using spatially distributed hydrologic models, specifically those with snow mass and energy balance components. Salary and Benefits: Salary range is $55,000 to $60,000 annually and is commensurate with experience.
