[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Position at NC State University in Legacy Phosphorus Data Synthesis

[Owen Duckworth]

*Position title: *Postdoctoral Research Scholar – Legacy Phosphorus Data
Synthesis



*Essential Responsibilities: *

We seek an exceptional postdoctoral associate to conduct NSF-funded
independent research in the areas of geospatial modeling, nutrient
biogeochemistry, and environmental/agricultural data analysis. The project
will involve collection and curation of soil phosphorus data, developing
models to predict soil P at high resolution across the US, and interfacing
the models with other national P models to develop inventories to develop
comprehensive P budgets. Opportunities exist to interact closely with a
group of distinguished intramural and extramural collaborators working all
aspects of phosphorus sustainability.



The position is under the direction supervision of Dr. Owen Duckworth in
the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences but will collaborate closely with
Drs. Natalie Nelson and Dan Obenour from the Departments of Biological and
Agricultural Engineering and Civil, Construction, and Environmental
Engineering. It is funded through the newly established NSF Science and
Technologies for Phosphorus Sustainability (STEPS) Center (
https://steps-center.org/), headquartered at a new intersectional working
space on NC State’s Centennial Campus (https://cals.ncsu.edu/psi/psb).
Interested applicants should be available to start as soon as possible. The
position is supported through the through October 2024, with the
possibility of renewal with satisfactory performance.



*Qualifications:*

To start work, a Ph.D. in Biological and Agricultural Engineering,
Environmental Engineering, Soil Science, Hydrologic Science, Data Science,
or a related discipline is required. The ideal candidate will have
experience working with a programming language like R or Python, experience
with geographic information systems (GIS), experience in studying and
nutrient fate and transport, and strong technical communication skills
(written and oral).  A strong publication record is highly desirable. *We
especially encourage women and members of underrepresented groups to serve
as undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers in
STEPS.*



*For more information and informal consideration: *

The position is currently open and we are seeking to fill it*
immediately*. *More
details about working on the project and within STEPS are included on Page
2*. To apply, please send a CV, a list of 3 references, and cover letter to
owen_duckworth at ncsu.edu. We will accept applications until a suitable
candidate is found.
