The candidates should be self motivated, well organized, and able to work as part of a team. Individuals with experience in measurements of plant carbon, water, or nutrient relations are particularly encouraged to apply.
Expected start date is June 1, 2011, with funding available for 3 years. Salary is $38000-$40000, commensurate with experience. Travel funds are available to present research results at national scientific meetings.
