Postdoctoral Opportunity in Terrestrial Biogeochemistry I am recruiting a well-qualified and highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join my research group in Terrestrial Ecosystem Biogeochemistry in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. Research in the Wurzburger lab (https://sites.google.com/site/ninawurzburgerlab/) is focused on ecosystem nutrient cycles, nutrient limitation on ecosystem processes and plant-soil relationships. The Postdoctoral Associate will collaborate on a new project exploring how soil micronutrients regulate broad patterns of elemental cycling in temperate and tropical forest ecosystems. The position will be based in Athens, Georgia with potential field sites including the Coweeta Hydrologic Lab in North Carolina and the Barro Colorado Nature Monument in Panama.
Requirements for the position include 1) a PhD in Ecology or a related field, 2) experience with field biogeochemistry, 3) expertise in soil extracellular enzyme analysis, molecular techniques and/or geochemistry, 4) strong publication record and 5) willingness to conduct research locally and abroad. Funding is available for 2 years beginning in the summer of 2011. Interested applicants should contact Nina Wurzburger (ninaw...@uga.edu) directly with a cover letter defining their research interests and career goals, a CV and the contact information of three references. Applicants should apply by March 31st, 2011 for full consideration. -- Nina Wurzburger Assistant Professor Odum School of Ecology 140 E. Green St. University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602-2202
