************************************************ Dear colleagues, We are looking for 2 postdocs to join our permafrost research group at CIRC in Abisko. I would be grateful if you could forward the information below to suitable candidates. My apologies for cross-postings. Best regards, Ellen Dorrepaal ----------- Application deadline: 24 October 2014 The Climate Impacts Research Centre (Umeå University) in Abisko, north Sweden is looking for two Postdocs (2 years each) in the Ecology / Biogeochemistry / Microbial Soil Ecology of permafrost ecosystems. Large uncertainties exist about the impacts of climate change on the world’s stock of soil organic carbon, especially the large amounts stored in permafrost soils. Thawing of previously frozen ground may expose this carbon pool to microbial degradation and turn arctic soils from long-term carbon sinks into sources of greenhouse gasses. This project aims to investigate how climate and ecosystem processes control carbon dynamics in permafrost soils. Please find more information via http://www8.umu.se/umu/aktuellt/arkiv/lediga_tjanster/4-975-14.html or contact Ellen Dorrepaal ( [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
