[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral fellowship in soil carbon biogeochemistry

[Myrna Simpson]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Soil Carbon Biogeochemistry at the University of Toronto Scarborough

A two-year postdoctoral research position that focuses on Soil Carbon Biogeochemistry is available in the research group of Professor Myrna Simpson<https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/physsci/myrna-simpson> at the University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus).  The successful candidate will lead molecular-level studies of soil organic matter composition with long-term ecosystem manipulations (litter manipulation, soil warming and nitrogen addition) using integrative approaches.  The candidate will also have an opportunity to develop and test new methods for molecular-level studies of soil organic matter dynamics with global environmental change.

Applicants should have a strong publication record and a PhD in Biogeochemistry or Environmental Chemistry or Soil Chemistry or Organic Geochemistry or a closely related field.  Applicants should also have previous experience with characterizing soil organic matter using chemical methods.  Previous NMR experience is also beneficial but not essential as candidates will receive full hands on training.  Successful candidates will have access to state-of-the-art NMR and MS equipment in the Environmental NMR Centre<http://individual.utoronto.ca/msimpsonlab/environNMRcentre.html> which houses three unique, hyphenated 500MHz NMR spectrometers specially designed for environmental applications.  Prof. Myrna Simpson's research laboratory is well equipped for soil organic matter biogeochemistry research.  The MSimpsonLab research laboratory houses a fully automated LC, GC-MS, GC with preparative fraction collector, and a LC-MS/MS as well as other support equipment such as automated sample evaporator.  More information about the M. Simpson research group can be found at: http://individual.utoronto.ca/msimpsonlab/.

Interested applicants should submit: a cover letter, CV, and the name of 3 referees to: Prof. Myrna Simpson (myrna.simpson at utoronto.ca<mailto:myrna.simpson at utoronto.ca>).  Candidates should have a demonstrated publication record from their MSc and/or PhD research.  The position is available for September 1, 2023 or soon after, and will remain open until filled.  The MSimpsonLab is deeply committed to equity, diversity and inclusivity. All potential applicants will be considered based on their academic merit, qualifications, demonstrated research track record, and potential to succeed.
