Postdoctoral Position in Ecosystem Ecology
SLU invites applications for the following one year post-doctoral position in Ecosystem Ecology, on the topic of NMR Characterization of Soil Phosphorus and Carbon Forms during
Long Term Succession at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, at Umeå, Sweden. The position is fully financed, including salary and benefits.
Duties: The project will primarily involve NMR analyses of soils that have been collected across a 5000-year fire chronosequence on lake islands in boreal forest in the Swedish
subarctic, and interpretation and analysis of the data that results from these analyses. This work is part of a much larger research effort aimed at understanding community and
ecosystem processes on these islands, and will complement other work in the system by helping us to better understand how humus quality and thus nutrient availability and carbon
sequestration changes in the long term absence of fire. The position will be based at SLU in Umeå, but with the NMR work performed through the Department of Chemistry at Umeå
University. The project will be supervised by Professor David Wardle at SLU and Associate Professor Reiner Giesler at Umeå University.
Qualifications:
For this position is a PhD in Biology, Ecology or Soil Science, preferably completed no more than three years before the last day of application. Prior experience with the use of NMR in
soils is highly desirable.
Applications for this position should include a curriculum vitae including a full list of publications, a brief description of research interests, and a list of at least two references
familiar with the applicant's qualifications and experience.
Form of employment: Temporary employment, 1 year
Extent: 100%
Starting date: Starting date is October 1 2011, although there is some flexibility around
this.
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
