Two USGS Mendenhall post-doctoral positions related to remote sensing phenology and land surface phenology are now available. These positions represent an opportunity to not only conduct cutting-edge research related to phenology, scaling, remote sensing, and climate change, but are also a recognized entry-point to a USGS career.

The two opportunities are:

#55: Effects of Climate Change on Vegetation Phenology and Ecosystem Health; station: Sioux Falls, SD or Reston, VA; Advisors: Jesslyn Brown, James Vogelmann, and John W. Jones; http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/2011/opps/opp55.html

#61: Linking Field Observations of Phenology to Satellite-Based Phenometrics and Climate in Semi-arid Ecosystems of the Southwestern United States; station: Tucson, AZ; Advisors: Cynthia Wallace and Jake Weltzin; http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/2011/opps/opp61.html
