Research Scholar/Modeler – Global Land Carbon Cycle and Land Use Change

Job description

Deadline: 30 April 2026 08-2026 Research Scholar/Modeler – Global Land Carbon Cycle and Land Use Change As part of a joint initiative of the of the and the of the , the Earth system modeling research theme is looking for a research scholar with expertise in global land surface and carbon cycle modeling. The role will develop open-source, surrogate models of land-atmosphere exchange, at various spatial resolutions and using various methodologies, to contribute to a better understanding of the carbon and climate impacts of historical and future land disturbances, especially land use change. the role This position will contribute to the CLARiTy project, a five-year initiative that aims to dramatically reduce uncertainty in land carbon fluxes by integrating Earth observation data with advanced modeling techniques. By harmonizing definitions, improving spatial resolution, making modeling approaches converge, and aligning scientific estimates with national greenhouse gas inventories, CLARiTy is expected to deliver more accurate and operational carbon budget assessments to support climate policies and global stocktakes. The successful applicant will join IIASA scientists from the ASA and...
