The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Chapman University has an opening for a postdoctoral research fellow in wetland biogeochemistry. The individual hired for this position will work on a project exploring peatland methane cycling in the context of a multifactor climate change experiment (http://mnspruce.ornl.gov/). This position would be based in the laboratory of Dr. Jason Keller at Chapman University in Orange, CA but would involve frequent collaborations with Dr. Scott Bridgham at that University of Oregon. Ph.D. in appropriate field is required. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in anaerobic biogeochemistry and, in particular, the use of stable and radioisotopes to explore ecological processes including methane dynamics. The ideal candidate will have a successful track record in scientific publications as well as excellent written and oral communication skills. A willingness to engage undergraduate students in research is also desirable. Review of applications will begin on Jan. 15, 2013 with the position beginning in the Spring of 2013. Please send a cover letter with a current CV and contact information for three references to Dr. Jason Keller ([email protected]).
