Subject: Postdoc / tech in ecosystem ecology, Cambridge University

We seek a full-time Research Assistant or Research Associate from April
2014.  The individual will join the Ecosystems and Global Change Group in
the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge led by Dr
Andrew Tanentzap
(http://www.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/research/andrewtanentzap).  The post is
funded by a NERC project entitled: "Recovery is RELATED: Restoring
Ecosystems by Linking Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecological Dynamics".  It
aims to test how changes in organic matter export from terrestrial
catchments associated with land use change will impact the productivity of
aquatic food webs.

For the first 6 months, the post will involve guiding the establishment of
a whole-lake experiment in Ontario, Canada.  This will require intensive
field work in boreal lake ecosystems, performing sediment incubation
experiments in controlled chambers, coordinating student assistants, and
managing procurements.  Later duties will involve designing experiments,
and collecting and analysing data associated with the project, focusing on
(i)relating the structure of organic matter to microbial communities and
(ii) developing a simulation model to predict food web dynamics from
watershed inputs.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first
instance.
