Post Doctoral Fellow - Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science
Clemson University: College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences: Forestry and Environmental Conservation
Location: 177 Hobcaw Road Georgetown SC 29440 Baruch Institute
Open Date: Oct 03, 2023
Description
Overview/background
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has recently implemented the Climate Smart Commodities program to incentivize landowners to adopt climate smart practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sequestration in agricultural and managed forest ecosystems. The College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Science at Clemson University is partnering with South Carolina State University to implement this program in the state of South Carolina. The O'Halloran Lab in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation and housed at the Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forestry Science will lead the construction and operation of several eddy covariance flux towers to measure the stand scale carbon sequestration of operational Climate Smart Forestry projects in the state. The goal is to measure short term changes in carbon stocks and fluxes in managed forests during the implementation of climate smart practices. Projects will focus on loblolly pine silviculture, and in partnership with The Longleaf Alliance, longleaf pine restoration. Through partnerships with South Carolina State University and The Center for Heirs Property Preservation this project will address an overarching objective to better reach underserved landowners in the state.
The postdoc will have access to 20 site-years of existing eddy covariance data in managed forests collected by the O'Halloran lab so that analyses and publications can commence immediately.
The postdoc will be advised by Dr. Tom O'Halloran (biometeorologist) and will work as part of the collaborative Climate Smart Commodities team at Clemson University.
The job location is The Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science (BICEFS) in Georgetown, South Carolina. Remote work may be possible during an initial transition period but the candidate is expected to relocate to South Carolina.
