[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Associate, Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry, University of Montana

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

The Terrestrial Ecosystems Ecology Laboratory at the University of Montana (
<http://www.cfc.umt.edu/research/biogeochemistry/>
http://www.cfc.umt.edu/research/biogeochemistry/) invites applications for
Postdoctoral Research Associate in the area of Ecosystem Ecology and
Biogeochemistry. We are especially interested in applicants who have
experience using both experimental and synthetic (modeling) approaches to
address important ecological questions. The successful candidate will help
develop and lead a new, 5-year, National Science Foundation (NSF) funded
Research Coordination Network (RCN) project titled, INCyTE: Investigating
Nutrient Cycling in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Integrating Observations,
Experiements, and Models (http://www.cfc.umt.edu/research/incyte/). 

 

The goal of INCyTE is to bring together communities of scientists that
historically have not interacted closely: biogeochemical experimentalists
and earth system modelers. The overarching goals of INCyTE are to enhance
our understanding of nutrient cycling feedbacks on the global carbon (C)
cycle in general, and to integrate different investigators, data, and
experimental and conceptual frameworks to improve representation of nutrient
interactions and constraints on the global terrestrial C cycle in Earth
System Models. The postdoc will help coordinate the science, interact with
participants at meetings and take a lead role in pushing the various
synthesis ideas and efforts that emerge during the project. In addition, the
candidate will be encouraged to engage in ongoing experimental research
projects in the lab. Currently, work focuses on understanding nutrient
dynamics, nutrient limitation, and nutrient plant nutrient acquisition in
temperate and tropical forest ecosystems.
