<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">We are seeking to fill a Postdoctoral research position in the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society at Northern Arizona University. The successful candidate will participate in research focused
on the fate of permafrost carbon in a warming world. The research spans both field work and data synthesis with a focus on (1) developing a high-latitude database of net ecosystem exchange to create an updateable timeseries of ground-based C balance status
and (2) site-level analysis of carbon fate from a gradient of sites undergoing permafrost thaw, and a long-term experimental manipulation of permafrost thaw and water table.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The postdoc will be primarily located in Flagstaff, AZ and spend a portion of time during the field season in Alaska. Please send cover letter including the names/contact of 3 references and CV
to: Dr. Ted Schuur; </span><a href="mailto:ted.schuur@nau.edu"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">ted.schuur-at-nau.edu</span></a><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">. Rolling application review ending Aug. 3; position open until filled. Due to
COVID-19, there is flexibility for this position to start work remotely, if needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The postdoc will play an active role in both the data synthesis effort and field component of this project. Data synthesis includes working with a network of collaborators,
</span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">helping to organize and run workshops, and synthesizing datasets for publication.
<span style="color:black">This requires excellent communication skills and desire to network and promote the synthesis activity.
</span></span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">In the field, potential activities include operation and interpretation of eddy covariance and/or autochamber flux measurements, supervising personnel and interfacing with other team members making measurements
of isotopes, soils, vegetation, and associated environmental measurements. The postdoc will be expected to organize, analyze, and maintain large data sets generated from the field measurements, and participate in data analysis and publications.
</span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">The candidate should have prior knowledge and experience of at least some of these activities, and a desire to learn new skills.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Candidates with a background in biogeochemistry, ecosystem ecology, plant or soil science are encouraged to apply. Experience with gas exchange, eddy covariance equipment, Campbell data loggers,
R programming, data and metadata processing would be essential. Experience with development of databases and web tools, and working with public datasets desirable. The postdoc will generally some portion of time during the field season in Alaska working with
the field project; therefore willingness to work and live in rugged field conditions is preferable. Salary is commensurate with experience, and full health care benefits are provided for individuals and families.
