[ECOLOG-L] Post-doctoral scientist - University of Arizona/Sweden
We seek a creative post-doctoral scientist with strong background in both instrumentation and ecosystem biogeochemistry to join an interdisciplinary team working to understand the dynamics of methane and associated microbial ecology of an arctic permafrost wetland that is being transformed by global climate change. The candidate will manage the deployment and interpretation of data from cutting edge instrumentation to measure the isotopic composition of fluxes and concentrations of CH4 and CO2 in the field, and collaborate with a team studying the molecular microbial ecology (metagenomics and metatranscriptomics) of methane. The science goals of this project are to discover how microbial community composition and metabolism scale to the ecosystem biogeochemistry of CH4 and CO2, and to learn how these relations are affected by a changing climate. The position is based at University Arizona, but will involve significant time commitments in the experimental field site in northern Sweden. This position provides exceptional opportunities to learn new techniques and to make major scientific contributions to problems of both scientific and societal interest using cutting-edge technology (see web page below for more project details). This is an interdisciplinary research program, and we do not expect candidates to be familiar with all of the relevant methods, but a strong science back¬ground relevant to methane isotope biogeochemistry, including field deployment of instrumentation, is desired. Competitive salary and benefits are provided; the University of Arizona is an equal-opportunity employer. Apply at: https://www.uacareertrack.com/ (search postings for number 44956) Direct questions about the project to: Dr. Scott Saleska Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Arizona sale...@email.arizona.edu For more information on this project see web sites: http://eebweb.arizona.edu/faculty/saleska/research.htm (Saleska group) http://www.b2science.org/
[ECOLOG-L] Associate Engineer - Biosphere 2 (University of Arizona)
Associate Engineer, for design of systems for atmospheric and ecosystem measurements, starting summer 2010. Biosphere 2 (at University of Arizona) seeks a creative engineer with background in design, construction, deployment and maintenance of robust automated field instrumentation. This position will provide self-starting individuals with opportunity to manage instrumentation projects and collaborate with research scientists using the instrumentation for research. Initial projects support deployment of new laser spectrometers to measure isotopes in atmospheric CH4 and CO2 at field sites (in northern Sweden, and Brazilian Amazon), and in Biosphere 2, the unique enclosed ecosystem near Tucson, AZ. Candidates should have training/experience in mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering, and familiarity with computer-aided design and data acquisition. Relevant experience includes pressure and flow control, thermal management, electronics, and optics. Additional background in measurement of isotope ratios in gases or materials (including design of calibration to maintain traceable high-accuracy), or of biosphere-atmosphere fluxes, is a strong plus. The University of Arizona is an equal-opportunity employer, providing competitive salary and benefits. Apply at: https://www.uacareertrack.com/ (job number 44952).

Backgrounds in ecology, physiology, or ecohydrology desired. (2) Observational studies on scaling photosynthesis from leaf traits to landscapes, combining ecophysiology, ecosystem-scale eddy fluxes, and remote sensing (including automated multi-spectral cameras and satellites) to understand forest phenology and variation across the Amazon. Strong quantitative and programming skills required. The fellowship is $42,000/yr plus health insurance, offered on an equal-opportunity basis.

An NSF-funded Partnership for International Research and Education (PIRE) in the Amazon, based at U. of Arizona, invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships. We seek outstanding self-motivated scientists (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) to combine research on Amazon forest response to climatic variability with an opportunity to coordinate an international education and training program (including an intensive field course in the Amazon). Fellowships offer exceptional opportunities to collaborate with a broad inter-disciplinary team of American and Brazilian scientists, and will be offered in two project areas: (1) Experimental studies to give insight into the future of Amazon forests by investigating effects of drought and light on tropical tree seedling recruitment, with manipulations conducted both in the field and in the model tropical forest of U. of Arizonas unique Biosphere 2 facility (www.b2science.org). Backgrounds in ecology, physiology, or ecohydrology desired. (2) Observational studies on scaling photosynthesis from leaf traits to landscapes, combining ecophysiology, ecosystem-scale eddy fluxes, and remote sensing (including automated multi-spectral cameras and satellites) to understand forest phenology and variation across the Amazon. Strong quantitative and programming skills required. The fellowship is $42,000/yr plus health insurance, offered on an equal-opportunity basis.

[ECOLOG-L] Post-Doctoral Research Associate - UArizona/Sweden
Post-Doctoral Research Associate (3-years) Focus: methane isotope biogeochemistry/infrared absorption spectroscopy in an arctic wetland Institution: Ecology & Evol. Biology and Biosphere 2, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ Start Date: Spring/Summer 2010 We seek a creative post-doctoral scientist with strong background in both instrumentation and ecosystem biogeochemistry to join an interdisciplinary team working to understand the dynamics of methane and associated microbial ecology of an arctic permafrost wetland that is being transformed by global climate change. The candidate will manage the deployment and interpretation of data from cutting edge instrumentation to measure the isotopic composition of fluxes and concentrations of CH4 and CO2 in the field, and collaborate with a team studying the molecular microbial ecology (metagenomics and metatranscriptomics) of methane. The science goals of this project are to discover how microbial community composition and metabolism scale to the ecosystem biogeochemistry of CH4 and CO2, and to learn how these relations are affected by a changing climate. The position is based at University Arizona, but will involve significant time commitments in the experimental field site in northern Sweden. This position provides exceptional opportunities to learn new techniques and to make major scientific contributions to problems of both scientific and societal interest using cutting-edge technology (see web page below for more project details). This is an interdisciplinary research program, and we do not expect candidates to be familiar with all of the relevant methods, but a strong science back¬ground relevant to methane isotope biogeochemistry, including field deployment of instrumentation, is desired. Competitive salary and benefits are provided; the University of Arizona is an equal-opportunity employer.
