[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Position in Soil Frost & Biogeochemistry at the University of New Hampshire

[Alexandra Contosta]

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a two-year position on the UNH Frost Sensing (FroSen) Project which aims to understand the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of soil frost and to examine how changing soil frost conditions affect ecosystem processes such as soil carbon and nutrient retention. This position will focus specifically on monitoring soil respiration continuously during winter as freeze-thaw occurs and to quantify both soil carbon and nitrogen retention during winter and the ensuing growing season to provide unique insights into how soil frost and freeze-thaw cycles affect these ecological processes.

The candidate, who will be co-mentored by Drs. Alix Contosta (project PI) and Serita Frey, is expected to have strong interests and experience in soil biogeochemistry, with expertise in soil respiration and nitrogen cycling measurements being desirable. The candidate will be expected to work independently, but also cooperatively with other members of the FroSen team. A Ph.D. degree in ecology, ecosystem science, natural resources, soil science, or related field, along with relevant research experience is required. The target start date is Sept 1, 2023, though an earlier start date is possible. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2023, and will continue until the position is filled.

To apply please send the following items in a single PDF file to Serita Frey (serita.frey at unh.edu): letter of interest/experience, CV, and the names and contact information of three professional references.
