> Subject: Postdoctoral Opportunity: Watershed C & N Biogeochemistry<br>
> (Michigan State University)<br>
<br>
> Postdoctoral Research Opportunity<br>
> Watershed Biogeochemistry Modeling<br>
> Michigan State University<br>
><br>
> We seek a postdoctoral associate to lead data analysis and<br>
> modelling efforts for ongoing watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology<br>
> projects in the Watershed Science & Hydroecology Lab at Michigan State<br>
> University. The postdoc will lead efforts to model and predict Carbon and Nitrogen<br>
> solute flux patterns across watersheds using large extant data sets and novel high-frequency stream sensor systems. The postdoc will ultimately apply their models to evaluate regional and global change impacts on aquatic ecosystems and water resources. The lab represents a rapidly growing multidisciplinary team examining the influence of changes in climate and land use on<br>
water resources and watershed nutrient and pathogen transport. Michigan State University represents a large and vibrant community for water research.<br>
><br>
> The position requires a Ph.D. by the start date of employment in ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, hydrology, environmental engineering, ecoinformatics, or a related field. Preferred research skills and interests include demonstrated knowledge of watershed carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry, geospatial analysis, machine learning, statistical modeling, and <br>
time series analysis. Strong computer programming skills (especially MATLAB, Python, R and/or FORTRAN) are required. A strong record of publications, GIS, and data-driven science is desired. <br><br>We will begin reviewing applications on 20 May 2016, and the search will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. Start date is flexible in 2016, but preferably in summer 2016.<br><br>
Position is funded for up to 2 years. For more information about our research group, please visit <a href="http://www.msu.edu/%7Ejpz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.msu.edu/~jpz</a><<a href="http://www.msu.edu/%7Ejpz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.msu.edu/~jpz</a>> .<br>
