is available at SLU: http://www.slu.se/en/shortcuts/jobs-and-vacancies/
>
> We are looking for a postdoc joining our work on carbon and nutrient
cycling in agricultural systems. The main focus is on the effects of
different management options such as crop rotations, cover crops, residue
handling and fertilization on soil carbon and nutrient cycling. We have
access to large comprehensive databases from long-term field experiments,
monitoring programs, eddy-flux data and regional agricultural statistics.
They are used in system analysis including dynamic modeling and development
of tools for agricultural extension programs, evaluation of ecosystem
services, lifecycle analysis and national environmental reporting.
>
> At the Department of Ecology, SLU we conduct both empirical and
theoretical research for sustainable forest and agricultural production and
efficient biological conservation. Our research on populations,
communities, and ecosystems forms the foundation for studying the influence
of land use and climate change on animals, plants and soils. Solutions are
sought that will improve greenhouse gas balances, preserve threatened
species, benefit biological diversity and ecosystem services, sustainable
wildlife management and control pests in forest and agricultural landscapes
as well as in urban areas.
>
> Duties: You are expected to conduct research on carbon and nutrient
cycling in agricultural systems which will involve statistical analysis of
data series at field and regional scale as well as dynamic modeling. You
will be collaborating with researchers and PhD students working on
ecosystem processes and general questions about element cycling in
agricultural ecosystems. The position is only partly linked to specific
projects. Thus, there will be enough freedom for developing your own
research ideas in cooperation with your mentor and other scientist at SLU.
>
> Qualifications: Applicants should hold a PhD in agronomy, ecology, soil
science, environmental science or similar disciplines, not older than 3
yrs. Documented experience in developing or applying soil and ecosystem
models, including the use and analysis of high-resolution climatic data is
highly desirable. Skills in mathematics, programming (e.g. SAS or R
software), GIS and statistics are of advantage. The applicant is expected
to have excellent oral and written communication skills.
