[bes_comp_eco] Forest dynamics postdoc position in Cambridge [if you're brilliant, lucky and prepared to write a short proposal]

Our administrators have sent around an advert for funding from an unusual
source. All I need to find is an excellently qualified postdoc interested
in applying for it and a large dose of luck.
The project I'd like to pursue would involve using repeat-measures lidar
imagery to characterise forest disturbance at a regional scale and then
explore the impacts of disturbance on regional carbon fluxes using a forest
simulator. The work would build on these two papers:
*Quantifying variation in forest disturbance, and its effects on
aboveground biomass dynamics, across the eastern United States* by Mark
Vanderwel, David Coomes and Drew Purves in Global Change Biology.

and

Please contact me if interested!
best wishes
