Research Scientist (Doctoral Researcher/Postdoc): The Natural Resources Institute of Finland invites applications for the position of Research Scientist, doctoral researcher/ postdoc. The role involves studying turbulent gas transport above small heterogeneous land use patches, such as forest clearcuts and agricultural parcels. The focus includes assessing the accuracy of eddy covariance (EC) observations in such locations and developing climate-smart management practices.
Research Scientist (Doctoral Researcher/Postdoc) in Turbulent Gas Transport
Designation: Research Scientist (Doctoral Researcher/Postdoc)
Research Area: Turbulent Gas Transport, Eddy Covariance Observations, Climate-Smart Management
Location: Finland (Flexible Work Location)
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD or MSc in natural or atmospheric sciences (e.g., meteorology, physics, environmental science, hydrology, geography)
- Knowledge of eddy covariance measurements and atmospheric boundary layer flows
- Experience in scientific programming (e.g., Python, R, Matlab)
- Good written and spoken English
Advantages (not mandatory):
- Experience with distributed temperature sensing and/or thermal imaging
- Fieldwork experience, e.g., setting up eddy covariance measurements
- Knowledge of forest canopy flows or other complex flows
- Familiarity with processes controlling GHG fluxes between the atmosphere and ecosystems
- Experience with large eddy simulation models (e.g., PALM)
Job Description: The selected candidate will:
- Process and analyze data from spatiotemporal measurements, integrating them with other data streams for understanding flow processes.
- Analyze existing EC datasets for signs of surface gas flux heterogeneity.
- Develop tools for assessing the effects of surface gas flux heterogeneities and forest edges on EC flux measurements.
- Contribute to designing and organizing field measurement campaigns.
- Present findings in scientific conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.
