Applications are invited for three post-doctoral research associates to
work with Dr. Peter Groffman on the following projects:
1) Denitrification in agricultural and forest soils. This position is
funded a cooperative agreement with the USDA and a grant from the
National Science Foundation and involves measurements of denitrification
and associated microbial and soil variables in sites that are part of
the USDA Long Term Agricultural Research network and as part of an ice
storm manipulation project at the Hubbard Brook Long Term Ecological
Research site in New Hampshire. The work will center on measurements of
denitrification using a direct-flux approach available in Groffman’s
nitrogen biogeochemistry laboratory located at the Cary Institute of
Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. The postdoc, who could be based at
the City University of New York (CUNY) Advanced Science Research Center
in Manhattan or at the Cary Institute, will also have the opportunity to
develop independent lines of research within the context of this
project. Apply at: https://www.rfcuny.org/careers/postings?pvnID=RC-
1605-001172
2) Multi-scale coupled natural human system dynamics of nitrogen in
residential landscapes. This project is funded by a new grant (pending)
from the National Science Foundation that addresses how biogeochemical,
hydrologic and human behavioral processes interact to control nitrogen
exports from residential ecosystems and landscapes. The work will
include coordinating a series of field measurements of biogeochemical
and hydrological processes and integrative analysis with scientists from
other disciplines. The position will be based at the CUNY Advanced
Science Research Center in Manhattan with regular travel to Baltimore
for field work and project coordination activities and will include
opportunities to develop independent lines of research within the
context of the project. Apply at:

3) Urban ecosystem ecology in New York City. This position would
involve participating in the development of several different projects
focused on biophysical and social dynamics on nutrient cycling in New
York City including urban agriculture, urban forestry, costal
resilience, combined sewer overflows and regional-scale analyses. The
position will be based at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center and
will include opportunities to develop independent lines of research
within the context of the project. Apply at:
