Post-doc position
SLU invites applications for the following 2-year Post-doc position: Modeling the dynamics of stream water DOC
The position is fully financed for two years and will be based at the new and dynamic department of Forest Ecology and Management, SLU, Umeå, Sweden. Umeå is located in the boreal forest (c. 15 km from the Baltic Sea and 300 km from the Scandinavian mountain range on the border to Norway). Our major research focus is on the boreal forest, but we have activities also in other biomes. The department has about 80 members of staff out of which 14 are professors. We have the highest ambitions in science and teaching, excellent international contacts, modern technical facilities and access to unique long-term forest ecosystem experiments and other field sites. SLU in Umeå shares Campus with Umeå University (www.umu.se). Umeå has 110 000 inhabitants, located a one-hour flight from Stockholm.
This 2-year post-doc position will focus modelling dissolved organic carbon (DOC) over a range of temporal and spatial scales across the heterogeneous boreal landscape. The purpose of the project is to enable better predictions of downstream water quality in the boreal landscape from a limited set of water samples in combination with readily available digital landscape characteristics and a Geographic Information System (GIS). To facilitate these objectives we will use a new generation of modelling tools, called PEARLS, using already existing field data from the multi-investigatory Krycklan Catchment Study (KCS).
The applicants should hold a PhD in physical geography or equivalent not older than two years. The candidate for this position should have a broad knowledge of stream water biogeochemistry a solid background in modelling DOC. Any experience in PEARLS modelling is considered as a merit. The majority of the work will be based at SLU in Umeå, Sweden but extended periods will also be spent at CEH, Bangor Wales.
