Job description

Jobs are sourced directly from employers. No recruiter involved. Research Fellow (Environmental Sciences)

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to lead eddy covariance data analysis for our greenhouse gas flux research in Southeast Asian wetlands. The position supports NTU’s mission to advance solution-oriented environmental research and contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for regular quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of eddy covariance and supporting meteorological data, and for producing monthly data reports.
• Improve, standardize, and automate EC pre- and post-processing workflows (e.g. flux calculation, filtering, gap-filling, flux partitioning, uncertainty estimation), ensuring rigorous documentation and reproducibility.
• Prepare and contribute to peer-reviewed publications, research proposals, technical reports, and internal technical notes, and present findings at scientific meetings.
• Contribute to the development of a Southeast Asian flux tower network, including data harmonization and partner engagement.

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Environmental Science, Atmospheric Science, Micrometeorology, Biogeochemistry, Ecology, or a closely related field
• Strong experience in eddy covariance measurements of greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4) and energy fluxes.
• In-depth knowledge of eddy covariance theory and instrumentation, and of standard processing software.
• Analytical and modelling skills with R or Python; experience building automated, reproducible data pipelines.
• Excellent scientific communication and interpersonal skills
• Proactive, independent, and team-oriented
