Assistant Professor in Molecular Biogeochemistry of Permafrost Systems at
the Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES).

Ref. No. SU FV-0071-19

Closing date:  15 August 2019.

The Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES) is
one of the biggest departments at the Faculty of Science with more than 200
researchers, teachers, doctoral students and technical/administrative
staff. The department is divided into five units where research and
teaching focus on contaminant chemistry, ecotoxicology, atmospheric
science, biogeochemistry and analytical chemistry. As an employee at ACES
you will be part of a dynamic environment with research in leading research
areas and with a strong international profile.

Research in the Biogeochemistry Unit focuses on the major biogeochemical
cycles and anthropogenic perturbations of these. We combine field studies,
modelling, and advanced analytical methods including compound specific
isotope analysis to study sources and processes in water, air and
terrestrial ecosystems. Permafrost organic matter dynamics is an area where
ACES scientists are particularly active. ACES is well immersed in the
interdepartmental Bolin Centre for Climate Research.

Subject/subject description
Molecular Biogeochemistry of Permafrost Systems. Process studies of
remobilized organic matter using biomarkers and isotopes of natural
abundance.

Main responsibilities
Research and in addition some teaching and supervision.

Qualification requirements
In order to qualify for the position as assistant professor, the applicant
must have completed a doctoral degree in Sweden or an equivalent degree
from another country. In the first instance, an applicant should be
