<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>the University of Hamburg has an opening for 2 research associate
positions (with opportunity to pursue a PhD dissertation) to work on the
investigation of land-atmosphere carbon (CO2 and CH4) exchange of
permafrost landscapes using eddy covariance flux measurements (position
1) and stable isotope (13CO2) techniques (position 2), respectively.
<br>
<br>Both research associates will work within the collaborative project
"CARBOPERM - Carbon in Permafrost" which is funded by the Federal
Ministry of Education and Research of Germany.
<br>
<br>The first position is dedicated to the micrometeorological investigation
of the balances and controls of the exchange fluxes of CO2 and CH4
between the atmosphere and the dominant tundra types in the
north-Siberian Lena River Delta.
<br>
<br>The second position is dedicated to the partitioning of the carbon
fluxes into the underlying physiological processes, e.g.,
photosynthesis, autotrophic respiration, heterotrophic respiration, CH4
production and CH4 oxidation as well as to investigating the gas
transport processes within the soil-vegetation-atmosphere continuum
using stable isotope techniques.
<br>
<br>The short-term contracts terminate on 30.09.2016, subject to the actual
granted funds. The preferred starting date is 1 January 2014.
<br>
<br>Closing date for applications: 15 November 2013
<br>

<br>
<br>Please distribute this announcement further to potentially interested
persons.

<br>Best regards,
