***Call for Applications: Targeted Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spatial
Biology**

*Applications are currently being accepted for a targeted postdoctoral
position in spatial biology in the Spatial Analysis Lab (SAL
http://www.nimbios.org/SAL) at the National Institute for Mathematical
and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) in collaboration with the Department
of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Tennessee
at Knoxville. This is a full-time, two-year position, with the potential
for a limited-time-period renewal.

Since 2009, NIMBioS has provided opportunities for postdoctoral
scholarship at the interface between mathematics and the biological
sciences. /Targeted Postdoctoral Fellowships at NIMBioS/ provide support
for specific research questions on projects directed by faculty at the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The postdoctoral fellow will integrate remote sensing tools with
publicly available data to answer interdisciplinary topics in Global
Environmental Change (with possible foci in macroecology, physiology,
and environmental sociology and economics). The fellow will be expected
to participate in and contribute to NIMBioS activities. Technical remote
sensing expertise is required, specifically experience in data-fusion
techniques and in working with multiple types of remotely sensed data
(multispectral + hyperspectral or multispectral + radar or multipectral
+ lidar, etc.). The most competitive candidates would have had
experience collating, processing, and analyzing large datasets (e.g.,
biodiversity, physiology, climate, agriculture/land-use, economic trade)
at the regional and/or global scale(s) and have published some of this
work in leading peer-reviewed journals. The postdoctoral fellow will be
mentored by Xingli Giam (EEB), Monica Papeş (EEB and SAL), and Kimberly
Sheldon (EEB).

Review of applications will begin 14 May 2018 and continue until the
position is filled. Start date flexible, but not later than 31 August 2018.
