at the University of Washington to conduct field and lab based research as part
of a NASA funded effort to investigate carbon dynamics in arctic and boreal ecosystems.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Under the guidance of Dr. David Butman the
successful candidate will engage directly with collaborators from the U.S.
Geological Survey, and Florida State University (R. Spencer) to carry out field
campaigns within the Yukon River Basin in interior Alaska during the summer of
2016 and 2017.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Sampling will include
organic and inorganic carbon concentrations, dissolved gas fluxes, as well as
stable and radioisotope sampling and preparation in an effort to investigate
the movement of carbon from terrestrial to aquatic systems across a changing
permafrost landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This effort is part of a collaboration between
the USGS LandCarbon program and the NASA Arctic and Boreal Vulnerability
Experiment with the lead PI as Dr. Robert Striegl (USGS), and the lead Science
PI is Dr. Michelle Walvoord (USGS).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
post-doc will have a leadership role in the use of radioisotopes of organic
carbon across arctic freshwater research and will have the opportunity to work
with a wide range of researchers across universities and government agencies. This
post-doc will work directly with P.I Butman to further develop research of
interest as part of the larger effort.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This
