*Postdoc position*
*Impacts of changes in Amazon land surface on rainfall variability in South
Eastern South America*
A postdoc position is open to investigate effects of land-use change and
land degradation in Amazonia on rainfall variability in South Eastern South
America
(SESA) by applying moisture recycling networks and climate modeling.
Land-surface characteristics are strongly connected to climate circulation
pattern and climate variability. However, the integrity of tropical and
subtropical forests is under threat due to land-use and climate change,
because it also changes land surface characteristics.
To improve predictability of climate at annual and decadal time scales, it
is of great importance to better understand the role of land-use change on
biophysical characteristics of the land surface. Specifically, the Amazon
rainforest is connected to the continental water cycle, where moisture
recycling networks have been applied to identify source, intermediate and
sink regions of recycled precipitation. Particularly, Amazon forest loss
significantly reduces continental precipitation due to evapotranspiration
decline in particular during the dry season. This way, moisture recycling
networks may be used to complement climate models in analyzes
of atmospheric moisture transport and recycling based on observational or
simulated data in the region.
We are looking for a professional with doctorate degree and experience
on interactions between the terrestrial surface and the climate.
Previous experience on terrestrial surface modeling, use of dynamic
vegetation models coupled to climate models, computational programming in
Fortran 90 and analysis and visualization of scientific data in NCL or
GrADS packages will be preferred.
*Stipend:* The opportunity is open to citizens of all nationalities, with
an academic title of doctor obtained less than 7 years ago. The selected
candidate will receive a postdoc grant from FAPESP with a monthly stipend
of BRL 6,819.30 for 12 months, renewable for another 12 months, and an
additional equivalent to 15% of the annual budget to be used in items
directly related to research activities.
More information on FAPESP standards: http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427
*Requirements:*
- PhD in Earth System Sciences or Environmental Sciences, Applied Computing
or related disciplines.
- Expertise in terrestrial surface modeling / sensitivity analyzes of
environmental conditions in surface-to-atmosphere interactions or
experience in atmospheric modeling / studies of aspects of precipitation
variability in South America
- Demonstrated ability to publish scientific articles
- Candidates should be available in the week of 5/Dec - 9/Dec for a
possible skype interview.
*Application:*
Please send, by November 30, an email with title "PD FAPESP CCST / INPE" to
celso.vonrandow@inpe.br or iracema.cavalcanti@cptec.inpe.br, with the
following documents in PDF format:
1) cover letter describing scientific qualifications and interests
2) short CV
3) indication of 2 names for personal references
4) link to personal page on sites like Research Gate, Google Scholar or
Academia.edu, if available.
