PHD Researcher jobs at Indiana University Bloomington

Title Postdoctoral Research Scholar - Forest Carbon Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track Department IU Bloomington Public & Environmental Affairs Location Bloomington We are seeking a highly-motivated postdoctoral fellow to conduct research focused on reducing bias and uncertainty in the measurement and monitoring of forest carbon uptake from local to global scales. Forests dominate the land carbon sink, and forest-based carbon removal strategies have the potential to confer many benefits for the environment and the bio-economy. However, at scales ranging from individual sites to the entire globe, estimates of forest carbon uptake and storage (FCUS) vary by 50-100% (or more). Our overall objective is to use the best-available science to confront these discrepancies while creating tools that permit seamless integration between project-scale FCUS monitoring and regional to global-scale policy setting. The postdoctoral research scholar will play a leading role in the synthesis of network observations, including forest inventory data (e.g. from the USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis program) and flux tower data (e.g. from AmeriFlux and FLUXNET networks), and the integration of these ground-based observations with state-of-the-art remote sensing information describing forest structure and function. The position will require computationally intensive data analysis, the preparation and submission of journal articles, and the mentoring of students and technicians working on the project. The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised by Dr. Kim Novick (O'Neill School) with ample opportunity to work with other IU scientists, academic scientists at other institutions, and partner organizations from the civic and public sector.

Research Scientist for Indiana University Cognitive Development Lab The Cognitive Development Lab at Indiana University-Bloomington (PI: Linda Smith) invites applications for a Research Scientist to assist in the creation and analysis of a shareable data set (of already collected data) from nearly 10,000 children ages 15 to 36 months. There is both a scientific premise and a methodological premise underlying the project. The scientific premise is that developmental changes in visual cognition and early vocabulary development interact, with advances in visual cognition supporting early language learning and also being changed by language learning. The literature indicates multiple causal factors and inflection points that can disrupt this early stage of vocabulary growth- limitations in audition, or vision, in phonological representations, in visual attention, in the composition of early vocabularies, and in the quality and composition of language input. The methodological premise concerns how to leverage all the data that has been already collected on these issues; experiments with many of the same overlapping measures designed with specific hypotheses in mind. The methodological premise for this project is that given some overlapping measures in the individual data sets and through the use of advanced analytic tools including machine learning and graph theoretics, one can discover multiple developmental pathways in cross-sectional data and the factors that underlie the trajectories of those pathways. These inferred pathways then can be empirically tested in longitudinal studies. Strong applicants will have quantitative and computational training as well as experience in behavioral science, ideally in development, language, or visual cognition. The successful applicant will have: Excellent research track record. Excellent programming skills. Experience in computational and statistical methods and analyses including either graph theoretic of machine learning approaches (or both). A track record of initiative, ability to lead a team (of undergraduates/masters students) and effective teamwork. Fit of this project with their own career trajectory/goals PhD in Psychology or related field How to Apply: Interested candidates should apply at ********************************************** by submitting a cover letter describing your interests and prior experiences, CV, and contact information for three references. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Application review will start December 1, 2024. Anticipated start date is February 1, 2025. Start date is negotiable.
