[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral position in Northern Watershed Sciences, University of Alberta

[Suzanne Tank]

We seek a motivated post-doctoral fellow to join a multi-disciplinary team
working to explore the effects of wildfire and landscape variation on
watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry in Canada's Northwest Territories.
This position will be based in the laboratory of Dr. Suzanne Tank at the
University of Alberta, but will occur in close collaboration with Drs.
William Quinton (Wilfrid Laurier University), Chris Spence (Environment
Canada), David Olefeldt (University of Alberta) and scientists from the
Government of the Northwest Territories Water Resources Division. The
primary role of the post-doctoral fellow will be to analyze broad datasets
of hydrology and biogeochemistry that have been collected from across a
diverse series of watersheds located in the Northwest Territories'
discontinuous permafrost zone. The post-doctoral fellow will be expected to
interact with project collaborators, produce peer-reviewed publications and
scientific reports, and present project results to academic and northern
community member audiences.

 

The University of Alberta (www.ualberta.ca) is one of Canada's top five
research institutions. Within the University, the Department of Biological
Sciences (www.ualberta.ca/biological-sciences) consists of 63 faculty, over
300 graduate students, and numerous support staff and postdoctoral fellows.
The Department also offers significant research support through facilities
such as the Biogeochemical Analytical Service Laboratory.

 

 

Qualifications:

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. with specialization in aquatic biogeochemistry,
hydrology, aquatic ecology, or a related field. Ideal qualities include a
history of engagement in collaborative research efforts, strong
organizational skills, excellent communication skills, and strong analytical
skills. Demonstrated success in producing peer-reviewed scientific
publications is a must. The post-doctoral fellow will be expected to work
closely and successfully with a wide range of collaborators from across
multiple disciplines, and present project results to diverse audiences.

to this position, a complete CV, and the names and contact information for
three references.
