array of tool such as flux chambers we are developing, isotopes, microbial analysis and much more. This position will interact with the “modelling PhD” as well as multiple PhDs and postdocs working in the aquatic carbon cycle in Abisko with Umeå University.
Co-advisors will be Jan Karlsson (Professor in Arctic biogeochemistry) and Ylva Sjöberg (Associate Professor in Arctic hydrology). </span>The application is open until March 1<sup>st</sup><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span>and can be applied here (<a href="https://www.umu.se/en/work-with-us/open-positions/phd-student-in-physical-geography-with-a-focus-methane-cycling-in-arctic-stream-networks_787643/">https://www.umu.se/en/work-with-us/open-positions/phd-student-in-physical-geography-with-a-focus-methane-cycling-in-arctic-stream-networks_787643/</a>)
