Dear Colleagues, The Billings lab at the University of Kansas is seeking two Ph.D. students interested in pursuing biogeochemical questions in terrestrial ecosystem ecology. We seek 1) a student interested in exploring how historic land use change and climate interact to drive soil carbon and nitrogen fluxes in forests in the southeastern U.S., at the new Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory (http://criticalzone.org/calhoun/) and 2) a student to investigate the influence of native and manipulated temperature regime on soil CO2 and N2O fluxes along a boreal forest latitudinal transect in eastern Canada (http://publications.gc.ca/site/archivee-archived.html?url=http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2014/rncan-nrcan/Fo104-2-2013-eng.pdf (you must click the 'Continue to PDF' link for the relevant information)).
Both positions require the implementation of controlled laboratory studies as well as field experiments. For details, please contact me, after visiting the lab web page below. Instructions are there for how best to express interest in my lab. Best wishes, Sharon Billings ********* Dr. Sharon Billings Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Kansas Biological Survey University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66047 785-864-1560, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.billingslab.faculty.ku.edu<http://www.billingslab.faculty.ku.edu/> www.soil-journal.net<http://www.soil-journal.net/>
