The hydro-biogeochemistry group at the University of Washington in Seattle has a funded open position for a postdoctoral researcher to work on an integrated project investigating methane oxidation in the soil zone surrounding roots of wetland plants and assessing how this process will change under future climate conditions. The project involves fieldwork at a wetland site in Alaska, laboratory experiments and rhizosphere-scale reactive transport modeling. The hired postdoc will be responsible for reactive transport modeling and for designing and conducting laboratory investigations that interface with the modeling effort. The goal is for the modeling and empirical work to inform each other (e.g., experiments that test model-generated hypotheses). The hired person will have the opportunity to interface with a Ph.D. student funded by the same project, and with other researchers across the UW campus and at the Alaskan field site who are experts in methane biogeochemistry and plant ecophysiology.
