*Two Postdoctoral Fellowships *(2 years each) in *Arctic ecosystems
ecology / plant-ecophysiology / microbial ecology *are available in
Abisko at the Climate Impacts Research Centre of the Department of
Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University, north Sweden, to
study the *off-seasonal dynamics of plant and soil microbial
processes in arctic ecosystems*. Climate change in the Arctic is
especially pronounced during autumn, winter and spring, including
increases in temperature, changes in snow fall/cover and rain-on-snow
events. Such off-seasonal changes in climate can affect the carbon
balance of arctic ecosystems and the underlying plant and soil microbial
processes but the extent remains unclear. We are looking for two
postdoctoral fellows to to investigate how changes in the timing,
frequency and extent of winter freezing conditions, as well as the
timing of spring and autumn, affects the (off-)seasonal dynamics of
plant and microbial processes in arctic ecosystems. See further:
