analysis. Training in earth system science or biogeochemistry is
required. Research experience in modeling wetland hydrology and
biogeochemistry is required, and skills in remote sensing, data analysis
and computer programming are required. A Ph.D. degree (already received
or awaiting receipt with all requirements fulfilled) is required.
Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter,
