Hello Biogeosciences members,
This is the designated Postdoc Appreciation Week, so please take a moment
to recognize the novel ideas, productive collaborations, and invaluable
mentoring that your postdoctoral colleagues bring to the workplace before
they move on to their next gig.
New postdoc opportunity: Critical Zone Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Merced;
Details and application (by September 29) at:
http://criticalzone.org/national/news/story/job-opening-postdoctoral-scholar-critical-zone-scientist/
Graduate student opportunities:
PhD and MS positions in *Ecosystem Ecology* are available in the *Center
for Ecosystem Science and Society (Ecoss)* at Northern Arizona
University. Candidates
should explore the Ecoss website (ecoss.nau.edu) and contact the professor
whose interests align most closely. Existing research opportunities are
available in the following areas linked to specific *Ecoss faculty*: The
impact of climate change on Alaskan ecosystems, including effects of
changing fire and permafrost on plants, soils, and ecosystem services.
*Michelle
Mack & Ted Schuur*. How microorganisms and their responses to environmental
change affect biogeochemistry, using tools in quantitative ecology and
molecular biology (next-gen sequencing, qPCR, and quantitative stable
isotope probing) to understand ecosystem responses to environmental change.
*Bruce* *Hungate, Paul Dijkstra, Ben Koch, & Egbert Schwartz*. Freshwater
ecology, including the science of river restoration and dam removal,
terrestrial aquatic interactions and food web ecology. *Jane Marks & Ben
Koch*. Exploring the interaction of water and carbon metabolism in diverse
studies ranging from the limits to height growth of the world's tallest
trees to drought responses of soil microorganisms*.* *George Koch*.
Data-driven modeling and forecasting carbon and nitrogen cycles to global
change at ecosystem, regional and global scales. *Yiqi Luo & Deborah
Huntzinger*. Terrestrial ecosystems and global change: above and below
ground processes, plant carbon allocation, biosphere-atmosphere
interactions and feedbacks, and phenology. *Mariah Carbone & Andrew
Richardson.* Plant -soil interactions in the context of restoration,
invasions, and climate change; soil nutrient dynamics and mycorrhizal
communities are a few specific foci. *Karen Haubensak. *Please include a
cover letter describing background, research interests, and qualifications,
as well as a current resume/curriculum vitae (CV). Program applications can
be submitted to the Department of Biological Sciences, due *January 15,
2019* after communicating with faculty member. *Applications received by 1
November 2018 may be considered for a prestigious NAU Presidential
Fellowship.*
