Let's explore how your expertise and interests align with the goals of the Terrer Lab.

Postdoc Position:
‍One of the main messages emerging from COP26 was the commitment to stop carbon losses in forests, especially in the tropics. Forest loss is defined as the combination of deforestation and degradation.  The postdoc assuming this position will leverage Planet imagery and AI to monitor changes in carbon stocks in tropical forests due to deforestation and degradation. The final goal, framed in the context of a large research collaborative project, is to develop a monitoring system to identify illegal activities that endanger tropical sinks in real-time.  This is a collaboration between the Terrer Lab, the Climate & Sustainability Consortium, the Environmental Solutions Initiative, and the University of Maryland.

VALUES

Inclusion in science starts by inclusion in the lab.

Climate change is a global challenge, but its impacts and solutions are different around the world. We believe diversity is a key factor to provide solutions to tackle this challenge worldwide. Thus, the Terrer Lab embrace diversity as a necessity and an advantage for our common goal.

Inclusion is how we unleash the power of diversity. We believe that a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds and experiences generate the greatest ideas. Our approach to diversity is simple - it’s about embracing everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes them unique.

Working at MIT offers opportunities, an environment, a culture – and benefits – that just aren’t found together anywhere else. We value diversity and strongly encourage applications from individuals from all identities and backgrounds, like yours. If you’re motivated, want to be part of a unique, multicultural, collaborative, and inclusive community, and help shape the future – then take a look at this opportunity.

We strive to foster belonging and empowerment.
We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are.
We listen and engage with our diverse communities.
