<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The postdoctoral position is part of a collaborative project that will investigating the fate of thawed permafrost carbon and nutrients across a large range of Alaskan Arctic watersheds. The project applies
a combination of novel and conventional approaches to quantify nutrient dynamics across scales and biomes. Primarily, the project involves: 1) Repeated high-resolution spatial sampling of stream network chemistry and high-frequency monitoring at watershed
outlets to quantify lateral carbon and nutrient flux across ecosystem gradients (e.g. Arctic-Boreal and coastal-upland) and scales (0.1 to 1,000 square kilometers); 2) Robust nutrient-limitation assays and tracer injection methods to estimate the magnitude
of instream removal and release of nutrients in locations that exert a strong influence on watershed-scale nutrient flux; and 3) Spatial analysis and statistical modeling of geochemical tracers and hydrological data that link multi-scale nutrient fluxes with
ecohydrological characteristics and thus identify drivers of hydrochemical change in the Arctic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The postdoctoral position responsibilities include: execute and creatively expand upon ongoing data synthesis and modeling tasks, lead collaborative project papers, conduct field research in the Arctic, and
assist with data management plan. The researcher will have the opportunity to mentor students and participate in STEM education and outreach activities. The position is based in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Michigan State University

Ben Abbott (Brigham Young University), William “Breck” Bowden (University of Vermont), and Jon O’Donnell (National Park Service). A minimum of two years of funding is available for this position. The position will begin as a one-year appointment with extension
available depending on satisfactory performance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
