We are currently looking for a post-doctoral associate to focus on organic nitrogen use by mycorrhizal fungi and plants, primarily through use of stable isotope and radiocarbon techniques. Lab experience and familiarity with chemical extraction techniques will be considered a plus. Research areas include a new global change experiment in northern Minnesota, the Duke FACE study, and a project examining the biogeochemical consequences of shrub expansion in the Arctic. The post-doc would work closely with a modeling group incorporating organic nitrogen use into ecosystem models. This is a two-year position. Please send letters of inquiry to Erik Hobbie (erik.hob...@unh.edu), website at http://www.eos.unh.edu/Faculty/Hobbie. The position can begin as soon as July 2013.
