The postdoc will contribute to the design and installation of a cutting-edge soil micro-warming experiment to be deployed right after a fire, and will advance the mechanistic understanding of the impacts of wildfire and soil warming on below ground biogeochemistry and vegetation recovery. The research will focus on carbon and trace-element cycling and organo-mineral associations as well as regrowth of existing vegetation and germination of added tree seeds or survival of planted seedlings. Vegetation recovery will be interpreted in the context of observed changes in soil properties. The postdoc will use field and laboratory measurements (including synchrotron-based characterization techniques) to study the effects of fire and warming on soil properties, geochemistry, and the physical-chemical states of organic matter. </font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;" class=""><font face="MyriadPro-Regular" style="font-size: 12px;" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><font face="MyriadPro-Regular" style="font-size: 12px;" class="">Join our dynamic research team of experts in soil biogeochemistry, plant and microbial ecology, geochemistry, and Earth system modeling.
