The Neumann lab at the University of Washington is looking for a full-time postdoctoral researcher interested in mechanistically modeling water flow and biogeochemical reactions around plant roots. The project is focused on hydraulic redistribution – the movement of water from moist to dry soil layers through the root system of plants – and is part of a larger collaborative effort with multiple institutions aimed at understanding the impacts of hydraulic redistribution on carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils and carbon exchange with the atmosphere. The modeling work will use MIN3P, a saturated-unsaturated reactive transport code written in Fortran; therefore, knowledge of Fortan is desired. Completion of the Ph.D. is required before starting this position. The anticipated length of the position is two years, contingent upon funding and performance.
If you are interested, please contact Rebecca Neumann at: rbn...@uw.edu with a short cover letter, CV, and list of three references. For more information about the Neumann lab at UW, see: http://faculty.washington.edu/rbneum/index.html The University of Washington is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
