Senior Research Associate in Nutrient Biogeochemistry Lancaster Environment Centre Salary: £30,747 to £35,646 Closing Date: Monday 29 November 2010 Interview Date: Monday 13 December 2010 Reference: A125
Applications are invited for a full-time senior research post based in the Centre for Sustainable Water Management (CSWM) in the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University. The research is focused on nutrient biogeochemical cycling in agricultural catchments to understand the broad implications for freshwater quality. The emphasis is on quantitative data analysis and interpretation rather than primary data collection, and will be based on a large number of datasets generated from various research projects and from publicly available research data. We are looking for someone with strong analytical skills in interpreting the impact of diffuse nutrient pollution from temporal and spatial data at a range of scales up to catchment scale, requiring expertise in environmental statistics and/or environmental modelling. The post is funded for 20 months in the first instance and the anticipated start date is January 2011. You should have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience together with a strong publications record in peer-reviewed journals. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made by email to Louise Heathwaite ([email protected]) or by phone on 01524 510225. For online application, go to the Lancaster University job postings website.
