Dear Colleague,
I am looking for post doc who will address aquatic biogeochemistry
questions using in situ sensors. Could you please post the job
announcement listed below. Thank you!
Regards,
Wil Wollheim
Post-doctoral Opportunity: Understanding Watershed and Stream
Biogeochemistry with Continuous In-Situ Sensors. - The University of
New Hampshire seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist who will
apply in situ instrumentation to address research questions regarding
biogeochemistry of streams and rivers of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. Recently developed in situ instruments such as optical
nitrate, optical CDOM, and wet chemistry phosphorus analyzers offer
significant potential to understand catchment and riverine processes
controlling nutrient fluxes. Potential research foci can include the
role of spatial and temporal heterogeneity in defining nutrient fluxes
throughout river systems, the stoichiometry of nitrogen, phosphorus,
and carbon loading from different land uses, and feedbacks among
carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus ratios and in-stream processes. Previous
experience with data loggers is preferred. The successful candidate
must have strong technical and/or electronic skills in order to test,
manage and trouble shoot multiple, novel, in situ instruments, and to
manage large data streams. The position is focused on understanding
the sustainability of New England watersheds in response to multiple
human activities across the landscape. Position is available
immediately and will remain open until filled. Applicants should send
a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and contact
information for 3 references to Dr. Wilfred Wollheim (wil.wollh...@unh.edu
).
