About This Position:
This position is anticipated to be advertised at the GS-11/12 grade, however the outreach database list it at the highest grade level (GS-12). The incumbent will use existing data, including long-term silvicultural research data, FIA data, and existing stand dynamics models to forecast stand dynamics and outcomes related to species composition and associated production of ecosystem services across upland hardwood forests of the Southern region. Determining priority areas for sustainable management is a cross-boundary issue that will link desired ecological and economical outcomes at many levels and will be relevant to millions of acres of state, private, and federal land across the South. This incumbent will use a multitude of calibration, parameterization, and model validation techniques, as well as perform necessary sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to provide quality model outputs and understanding of model response relating to forecasting upland hardwood regeneration potential across the broad and complex landscape of the Southern region. The scientist will examine model input and calibration data from a data quality perspective, including assessing spatial and temporal scaling issues in a geographical context. This will require analyzing spatial data in a geographic information system (GIS) as well as creating and utilizing models in a computer programming environment, e.g., using python, R, or C++.
