<p>We seek a creative, highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to study the major controls on soil N<sub>2</sub>O fluxes and develop improved stable isotope tools for this work. The postdoc will have a unique and exciting opportunity to work
in a wide range of ecosystems where biogeochemical research is ongoing, including mesquite savannas, pine forests, intensively managed agricultural systems, and the semi-arid Caatinga forests in Brazil. The postdoctoral scholar will be affiliated with the
Stable Isotopes for Biosphere Science laboratory (<a href="http://sibs.tamu.edu" target="_blank">http://sibs.tamu.edu</a>) and will join a highly collaborative group of researchers at Texas A&M University. Interacting faculty will include

<a href="http://vogellab.tamu.edu/" target="_blank">Jason Vogel</a>, and <a href="http://agrilife.org/wilcox/" target="_blank">
Brad Wilcox</a>, along with <a href="http://ecologyandevolution.cornell.edu/people/faculty/jed-sparks.cfm" target="_blank">
Jed Sparks</a> at Cornell, and other collaborators affiliated with the PINEMAP project (<a href="http://pinemap.org" target="_blank">http://pinemap.org</a>). Successful candidates will have experience in soil trace gas fluxes or trace gas isotope geochemistry and an interest
in N biogeochemistry. Familiarity with N<sub>2</sub>O isotopomers in particular will be a significant advantage, as will prior publications on related aspects of N biogeochemistry. Candidates must hold a PhD by the start of the position. Salary will be commensurate
with experience and includes a competitive benefits package. Funding is initially available to support two years of work. Texas A&M University is a vibrant academic community in the city of College Station - a friendly, affordable city with easy access to
Austin, Houston, and a convenient local commercial airport. To apply, navigate to the A&M job application website (<a href="https://greatjobs.tamu.edu" target="_blank">https://greatjobs.tamu.edu</a>) and search for
