Job Details
Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Biological and Environmental Sciences, Physics, Mathematics, or a closely related field. Experience in field ecology, physiology ecology measurements (e.g. photosynthesis, sap flow, hydraulics and eddy covariance), and photosynthesis modeling is preferred. Applicants should be fluent in written and spoken English, and have strong quantitative and programming skills (e.g. Python, R, C, or Matlab).
The appointee will work on vegetation photosynthesis modeling, from leaf to regional scales. He/She will participate in field observations on leaf level function, and help develop process-based, transparent modeling approaches to scale up leaf-level physiological understanding to canopy and ecosystem scales. He/She will also lead field campaigns, conduct modeling experiment and analysis, and prepare peer-reviewed publications. He/She will work with Dr. Wu Jin and a strong collaborative team with broad expertise in field ecology, plant physiology ecology, ecosystem modeling, eddy covariance techniques, satellite remote sensing, and high-performance computing. For further information, please contact Dr. Wu Jin (e-mail: jinwu@hku.hk), or visit https://wu-jin.weebly.com.
A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.
The University thanks applicants for their interest, but advises that only candidates shortlisted for interviews will be notified of the application result.
