About this position

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead and coordinate research syntheses based on AmeriFlux’s extensive long-term data holdings. The work will advance understanding of ecosystem–atmosphere interactions, including water and energy balance, scaling and modeling, land–atmosphere processes, plant productivity, and carbon fluxes.

The researcher will join the AmeriFlux Management Project, which supports a network of more than 700 eddy covariance sites measuring carbon, water, and energy exchanges across the Americas. The role combines ecosystem science, environmental data science, large-scale data synthesis, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Responsibilities include leading synthesis studies, identifying research priorities with AmeriFlux researchers and partners, publishing peer-reviewed papers, presenting at scientific conferences, and coordinating workshops, webinars, working groups, and other community activities. The researcher will also communicate findings through reports, newsletters, and web content, contribute to grant proposals and progress reports, and collaborate with FLUXNET, regional flux networks, and related research programs.

Working with ecosystem scientists, data scientists, and software engineers at Berkeley Lab, the postdoctoral researcher will help develop and evaluate data products, tools, workflows, and research-support services. The position offers engagement with an international community of scientists, modelers, and AI/ML researchers, under the primary advisorship of Housen Chu.
