<\/p>\n
Job Type:<\/strong> Student \/ postdoc A postdoctoral research associate position is available at the National Institute of Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. <\/p>\n This position is funded by the US Forest Service and the postdoctoral mentors are Dr. Todd Schroeder (USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis Program todd.schroeder@usda.gov<\/a>) and Dr. Monica Pape\u015f (Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and NIMBioS mpapes@utk.edu<\/a>). <\/p>\n The project will focus on the use of point cloud data from USDA NAIP imagery to improve the separation of forest from non-tree vegetation and develop maps of canopy height and sparse forest cover for pinyon-juniper\/oak woodlands. <\/p>\n Possible research avenues include combining 3D structure and optical remote sensing data to develop higher resolution canopy height maps and alternative forest\/nonforest maps. The maps generated will be used to improve FIA forest estimates via post-stratification and\/or model-assisted estimation.<\/p>\n Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n An initial appointment will be for one 18-month period, with the potential for renewal if further proposals are funded and the postdoctoral researcher makes satisfactory progress. A start date of September 25, 2023 is preferred.
