[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoc in Vermont on soil carbon

[Gillian G. Trevithick]

Postdoctoral Position in Forest Soil Carbon and
Global Change at the University of Vermont

Project:
The University of Vermont (UVM), Rubenstein School of Environment and
Natural Resources is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to help discover how
climate,
forest composition, and disturbance impact forest soil carbon across
multiple spatial
scales in northern New England. The researcher will join collaborators at
the UVM, the
University of New Hampshire and University of Maine to develop and conduct
research
exploring what drives variation in soil carbon pools and fluxes across
scales. The
position is available for Fall 2021 and includes two years of funding.
Salary range will be
between $45,000 and $50,000 depending on experience. There are a number of
generous, benefits associated with the position . We anticipate the Postdoc
will become
a member of the Gund Community, with opportunities for engagement with other
researchers as well as access to the Gund Leadership Academy (a professional
development program).

Qualifications:
PhD in soil sciences, ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry or related
fields. Experience working with models, either process or statistical,
required with a
preference for spatial modeling or remote sensing background.
Applicants should be comfortable working independently, but also
cooperatively with
others on a project. Applicants should have a strong work ethic, ability to
problem solve,
demonstrated writing and quantitative capabilities, and a record of
leadership. Training
will be provided, but experience with modeling/quantitative skills and
working with large
datasets using programming (e.g., R, Python) is desirable.
