Academic Positions

OCE Postdoctoral Fellow - Australian Continental Fire Emissions Modeling
CSIRO
Black Mountain Laboratories, Canberra, Australia

An opportunity for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on diagnostic modeling of the Australian continental fire emissions. The successful applicant will work with a small team using biospheric models and large datasets to understand material and energy exchanges of the Australian terrestrial biosphere.

You will contribute to the development of a research capacity in Australia to establish the continental net carbon balance with the vision to extend it to include other greenhouse gases and an understanding of the processes controlling the natural and anthropogenic fluxes of terrestrial ecosystems. The work will also contribute to a global assessment of the Global Carbon Project called REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP), with opportunities to interact with other international regional groups overseas.

And so here I am in the Male International Airport, waiting to board my plane back home. It was a wild ride on the 50-seater from Gan to Male, though I should've expected that from radar and satellite images revealing intense convective activity there over the past few days.
