A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Tamara Harms at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, focused on resilience of boreal catchments to changes in the fire and permafrost regimes. The researcher would join a team using instream sensors to characterize carbon and nitrogen cycles of boreal catchments and evaluate temporal patterns as potential indicators of ecosystem stability and impending regime change.
Applicants should have research experience and interests in ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry, and expertise with either time series analysis or collection of high-frequency data using sensors. Expected start date is March 2018. Prospective applicants should contact Dr. Harms ([email protected]) by Jan 15 with a CV and cover letter describing research interests and experience.
