Postdoctoral positions (2) in soil biogeochemistry. I have two open
postdoctoral positions at the University of New Hampshire for highly
motivated soil biogeochemists or ecologists to conduct research in
agricultural systems. My lab has expertise in soil organic matter
chemistry (py-gc/ms), microarthropod ecology, trace gas emissions,
microbial community dynamics, and soil quality and agronomy. I am
interested in hiring individuals with complementary skills in areas
that include, but are not limited to, characterization of microbial
community structure and function, mycorrhizal ecology, soil organic
matter chemistry, and soil organic matter turnover dynamics (isotopic
approaches would be ideal). Potential projects include examining
cropping system diversity effects on soil C and N cycling; land use
legacies, landscape position and their effects on soil organic matter
dynamics; litter decomposition dynamics; and the efficient use of
organic amendments in sustainable cropping systems. Postdocs will be
matched to projects depending on their interests and skills and
should ideally be available to start spring 2011. Review of
applications will begin February 03 and continue until positions are
filled. Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, and the names and
contact information of three referees to Stuart Grandy
([email protected]).
