The research has a particular focus on the land-to-water flux of carbon, nutrients, and toxins such as metals and PAHs, the effect of these fluxes on aquatic ecosystem health, and how inter-regional variation can be used to scale results to the broader landscape. Work will occur in the Boreal Shield and Boreal Plains regions of the NWT. The post-doctoral fellow will work collaboratively with researchers from a variety of organizations, lead field data collection efforts, analyze and disseminate collected data, and undertake some laboratory analyses. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The position will be based in the laboratory of Dr. Suzanne Tank in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (<a href="http://www.biology.ualberta.ca">www.biology.ualberta.ca</a>).
