[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc position available in watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry in permafrost landscapes

[Erika Marín-Spiotta]

> Postdoctoral position: Watershed Hydrology and Biogeochemistry in
Permafrost Landscapes

>
> Summary: A postdoctoral position is available within the Earth and
Environmental Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL) to work in the areas of observational and/or experimental hydrology
and biogeochemistry of permafrost watersheds. Successful applicants will
participate in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, multi-institution
research program doing fundamental research to inform improvements of the
representation of Arctic terrestrial processes in Earth System Models.
Research activities include the development and application of isotopic and
biogeochemical tools to quantify sources, transport pathways and sinks of
water, soil, carbon and nutrients through permafrost landscapes. Field
experience in remote areas is an asset, and we encourage applicants who can
work across disciplines and draw upon diverse data sets and analytical and
computational techniques to study linkages between land surface and
subsurface processes, as well as ecohydrology.
