Please help advertise! Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Biogeochemical Cycles
The Pennsylvania State University is recruiting an exceptional postdoctoral research fellow to pursue cutting edge research in Biogeochemical Cycles. Position will be supported by the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment (PSIEE) at Penn State, University Park, PA, and will include a highly competitive salary, funds for travel and supplies, and the opportunity to participate in an innovative future faculty development program. This position is part of an initiative to enhance the already vigorous program of environmental and energy research and education at Penn State, and reinforces the university's internationally recognized leadership in multidisciplinary research. This position represents an exceptional opportunity to develop new research projects in collaboration with two or more Penn State faculty. Existing strengths at Penn State span a wide range of topics, including multi-scale modeling, integrated assessment, study of coupled hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, contaminant fate and transport, ecohydrology, polar hydrology, and resource economics. Penn State faculty and staff are involved in the Critical Zone Observatory network, the Long Term Ecological Research network, the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, and other long-term environmental observatories. We are seeking candidates who will leverage resources and expertise of several faculty via collaboration across units. A list of Penn State water scientists and engineers is available at www.psiee.psu.edu/psiee_people/faculty_results_az.asp. For more information, contact Beth Boyer (ewb...@psu.edu), Mike Gooseff (m...@psu.edu), or Li Li (l...@eme.psu.edu). Position is for two years, with a start date in Fall Semester 2012. An excellent publication record and a Ph.D. in a relevant field are required. Please submit curriculum vitae, a three-page research concept (proposal) that leverages the faculty and facilities at Penn State and three letters of recommendation to Judy Cranage at j...@psu.edu by July 27, 2012. MUST SEND ALL REQUESTED MATERIAL TO BE CONSIDERED FOR EMPLOYMENT. For more information please visit www.psiee.psu.edu/open_positions.asp. Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce. Thanks for your help in advertising!

The deadline for abstract submission is August 8, 2012. Description: Forests recovering from disturbance are strong carbon sinks and play an important role in Earth's climate system. Climate change is likely to alter forest recovery dynamics or even prevent recovery, and changes in disturbance-recovery dynamics will impact both biogeochemical and biophysical interactions with the climate system. This session will focus on improving understanding of the role of secondary forests in the changing climate system. In particular, it will address both the mechanisms through which altered atmospheric CO2 and climate are likely to impact recovery patterns, including physiological responses, successional dynamics, and biogeochemical cycling, and the expected biogeochemical and biophysical climate feedbacks. We expect that this will be a very interesting session, and hope that you'll be able to participate. Sincerely, Kristina Anderson-Teixeira Evan DeLucia Benjamin Duval (conveners)
