<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and autonomous candidates, ideally with experience or solid foundations in geography or ecosystem sciences, to undertake MSc, PhD or postdoc research on a project aiming to quantify the net effect
of hydro-electric damming on the carbon cycle at the landscape level in a context of multiple rapid environmental changes. The individual projects will cover one or several of the following research objectives :<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates should have, or be willing to develop interdisciplinary skills including field work in remote areas, lab work with state of the art environmental analytical infrastructure, synthesis and analysis of large datasets, and be motivated
to interact with academic and non-academic (e.g. Hydro-Québec) collaborators. Research projects could start as early as May 2021, and we aim to assemble a team to undertake field work campaigns as early as June 2021. We will process applications as soon as
we receive them.<o:p></o:p></p>
