<div><b>Postdoctoral Position at the University of Arizona</b></div>

<div>We are looking for a creative post-doctoral scientist with a strong background in instrumentation, isotope biogeochemistry, and/or modeling to join an interdisciplinary “ecosystem genomics” team seeking to discover how microbial community composition and
metabolism scale to the ecosystem biogeochemistry of carbon, focusing on a carbon-rich biome critical for understanding feedbacks to climate change. The position will focus on methane cycling across land use types in the Amazon of Brazil.</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div>The candidate will manage cutting edge field instrumentation, lead interpretation of resultant data on isotopic composition of fluxes and concentrations of carbon cycle gases, and work as part of an international team studying the molecular microbial ecology
of carbon cycling using multiple methods (from metagenomics of microbial communities to ecosystem fluxes). Facility with using a mathematical modeling framework to interpret field observations is desirable, as are original ideas for complementary investigations
of microbial community ecology.</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div>The position is based at University Arizona, but will involve significant time commitments at international research sites and collaborator institutions. These are exceptional opportunities to learn new techniques and to make major scientific contributions
to problems of both scientific and societal interest using cutting-edge technology.</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span></div>
<div>The position requires excellent communication skills and also an ability to take a leadership role for specific project components and collaborate with members of a broad international and interdisciplinary team. Fluency in (or a desire to learn) Portuguese
is strongly desired. This is an interdisciplinary research program, and the candidate need not to be familiar with all of the relevant methods, but a strong science background relevant to isotope biogeochemistry, including field instrumentation, and interpretation
of data within a mathematical modeling framework, is desired.</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span></div>

<div>Please send inquiries to Dr. Scott Saleska (saleska@email.arizona.edu) or Dr Laura Meredith (laurameredith@email.arizona.edu)</div>
