Hello,
The Minnesota Population Center is seeking a post-doctoral scholar to work on its National
Science Foundation-funded project, Terra Populus. The position will have responsibilities
for conducting substantive human-environment interactions research utilizing the TerraPop
data collection and integration tools, as well as performing associated data preparation
tasks.

The goal of TerraPop is to integrate, disseminate, and preserve data describing the human
population and environment spanning broad spatial and temporal scales. Integration is
performed primarily through location-based linkages enabling transformations among
individual- and household-level microdata, area-level data describing characteristics of
places defined by boundaries, and raster/gridded data. The initial TerraPop data
collection included census microdata for over 20 countries (including historical data for
many), extensive aggregate census data for the United States, multiple land-use/land-cover
datasets, agricultural land use data, and long-term average climate. The collection is
continually expanding, and priorities may be influenced by the post-doctoral associate's
particular interests and research direction.

Please see the attached job description for more details and information on applying.

Sincerely,
David Van Riper
