> A postdoctoral position in terrestrial biogeochemistry is available in
the Berhe lab (www.aaberhe.com) to work on interactive effects of fire and
erosion on persistence of soil organic matter. The aim of this postdoctoral
project is to investigate decomposition and incorporation in microbial
biomass of fire altered or pyrogenic organic matter in order to further our
understanding of the mechanisms that control pyrogenic organic matter and
bulk organic matter persistence in the soil system. The initial appointment
will be for one year and is renewable, depending on performance and
availability of funding.
