POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION: DESERT NITROGEN DYNAMICS AND GLOBAL CHANGE
A post-doctoral position is available immediately to work on a multi-investigator project that examines nitrogen dynamics during the decommissioning of the Nevada Desert FACE Facility (NDFF). The work will use isotope, soil transformation and trace-gas measurements to explore the influence of long-term exposure of the Mojave Desert to elevated carbon dioxide. The position will be based at Cornell University with field work at the Nevada Desert FACE Facility (NDFF) near Las Vegas, NV. The applicant will work at desert field sites for extended periods. A Ph.D. in ecology, biogeochemistry, soil science or related field is required before the starting date. Knowledge and experience with stable isotopes, soil N transformations, or trace gas analysis is desirable. Funding for the position is guaranteed for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension. To apply please e-mail an application letter with professional interests and research experience, CV, reprints, and names, and E-mail addresses of three references to Dr. Jed P. Sparks, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
