Postdoctoral Position in Stream Biogeochemistry A postdoctoral associate position in stream biogeochemistry is available in the School of Biology and Ecology at the University of Maine. The position is associated with a NSF-funded project that examines the response of multiple, coupled biogeochemical cycles and a variety of ecosystem processes to chronic watershed nitrogen enrichment and acidification. The research focuses on terrestrial-aquatic linkages and the postdoctoral associate will be part of a collaborative team of stream ecologists, geochemists, and terrestrial ecologists. Field work is conducted at two long-term, whole-watershed experiment sites in Maine and West Virginia, USA.
The successful candidate must have a PhD in ecology or relevant area and experience in biogeochemistry. Specific experience in nutrient spiraling, the use of stable isotope tracers, stream metabolism, and microbiology is highly preferred. The position is for up to two years. Finalist for this position must complete necessary background checks. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for three references to: Dr. Kevin Simon ([email protected]), School of Biology and Ecology, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469-5722.
