This work, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), will be applied to capturing carbon dynamics across space and time in dryland ecosystems of the western U.S. and around the world. This will include the characterization of carbon stocks for key groups of NRCS Ecological Sites and the integration of carbon storage and sequestration into associated State and Transition Model (STM) frameworks.
The position is funded for two years at a salary of $63,000/yr and can begin as early as September 1, 2024. This position is telework eligible within the state of Utah. Telework outside of the state of Utah is subject to review and approval by the University prior to a job offer being extended.
