The University of Montana Numerical Terradynamics Simulation Group (NTSG), in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE), seeks an exceptional post-doctoral researcher with expertise in geospatial analysis, statistics, and agricultural ecosystems to study land-use changes in North America’s grasslands. The research scientist will use remotely sensed data and ancillary information to characterize recent and historical grassland dynamics across North America (Canada, U.S., and Mexico) and assess the drivers and consequences of this change, including interactions with woody encroachment and cropland expansion.
