I am seeking a post-doc to conduct research on the biogeochemistry of linke=
d aquatic-terrestrial systems.  I am particularly interested in a researche=
r with experience using stable isotopes to examine denitrification or other=
 processes and with an interest in connecting biogeochemical functions to m=
icrobial community structure and activity. The post-doc will have the oppor=
tunity to participate in workshops and other activities offered via Kent St=
ate's post-doc mentoring program.  In addition to publishing results from t=
he project, the post-doc and I will develop future research ideas and submi=
t proposals.  The post-doc will also have access to a variety of instrument=

s who study topics related to ecology, water, urban design, etc.
