Northern Gulf Institute, in collaboration with the Forest Hydrology and Soils
Lab at Mississippi State University is seeking a postdoctoral research
associate to contribute to various ongoing projects in areas of forest
hydrology and biogeochemistry that lead to healthy and resilient watersheds.
Specific areas of research may include coastal forest restoration impacts on
water quality and soil health, forest disturbance (fire, insect) impacts on
carbon and nitrogen cycles, and/or canopy partitioning of water resources. The
selected candidate will contribute to ongoing research projects and will be
mentored to develop new research questions in both field and laboratory
settings. </p>
