Dear Biogeosciences members,
Now that the new year is well underway, the current section officers would
like to remind you to nominate yourself or a colleague for the chairperson
and secretary positions for 2020-2022. We hope to hold elections soon, but
need more candidates! Please consider giving a little of your time to get
involved in the section. Current and incoming officers will meet virtually
in 2019 to get ready for the coming terms.
We also encourage you to re-enroll in the section when you renew your ESA
membership in advance of abstract submission for the August meeting in
Louisville, KY.
Finally, here is a job opportunity for those seeking postdocs:
*Postdoctoral Researcher -- Terrestrial Ecology, Argonne National
Laboratory*
The Environmental Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory (
www.anl.gov) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a large,
multi-institution project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to
evaluate the impacts of switchgrass traits/phenology, productivity, and
associated microbiome diversity on carbon cycling across continental scale
environmental gradients. This researcher will collaborate with a team of
scientists to investigate how broad changes in temperature, precipitation,
photoperiod, soil properties, and ecotypic variation in switchgrass
interact to influence plant growth and carbon cycle responses at the
ecosystem level. The successful candidate should have knowledge of
terrestrial ecology and ecosystem processes with training/expertise in one
or more of the following topic areas: plant growth, plant-soil-microbe
interactions, carbon and nutrient dynamics, and soil organic matter pools.

requisition number 405342.
Best,
Ben Sullivan, Devin McMahon, and Megan Nasto
