Postdoctoral researcher sought to join an interdisciplinary research effort examining the hydrogeomorphic and biogeochemical consequences of a large- scale (~2000ha) river and wetland restoration project in the NC Coastal Plain. The postdoctoral associate will help coordinate pre and post inundation monitoring efforts, and will be expected to initiate independent research at the site. Potential projects include determining the effects of inundation frequency and duration on phosphorus mobilization; linking biogeochemical function to geomorphic patch types; and/or developing linked hydrologic-biogeochemical models. The postdoctoral associate will work collaboratively with Emily Bernhardt (Duke University), Martin Doyle (UNC- CH), and Geoff Poole (EcoMetrics, Inc) and may be housed at either Duke or UNC. To be considered applicants should have completed their PhD, have excellent quantitative skills and relevant experience/expertise in biogeochemistry, geomorphology and/or hydrology. Salary will be commensurate with experience (range $35-45K). Interested applicants should send a CV, representative publications, and three letters of recommendation by email to Emily Bernhardt, Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Desired start date in autumn or winter of 2006, for likely 2-year term. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
