Postdoctoral Associate in Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry
The Department of Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona is seeking applications for a postdoctoral associate to work on an interdisciplinary project examining the effects of tree death due to insect infestation on water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles in montane forests of the western United States. The successful candidate will join a multidiscplinary team working at sites that span a latitudinal gradient from the sky islands in AZ, through NM, CO, and WY. Candidates should have expertise in at least one of the following areas: hydrological, hydrometeorological, or biogeochemical instrumentation and analysis; water or carbon isotopic analysis; biogeochemical or ecosystem modeling; plant physiological ecology. Excellent written and oral communication skills as well as experience and willingness to work in both field and laboratory settings required. Screening of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found. Funding is available at least through December 2010. Please send a short statement of interest, a current CV, and the names of three references to Professor Paul D. Brooks ([email protected])
