The Ecosystem Ecology Research Lab at the University of Florida is
seeking applicants to fill two postdoctoral positions for studies of
carbon cycling in Alaska.
The first position is associated with Dr. Michelle Mack's lab and will
focus on the effects of fire severity and plant species composition on
post-fire trajectories of carbon accumulation in Alaskan boreal forests.
This research is part of a NASA-funded project studying the effects of
fire severity on carbon-albedo tradeoffs in climate forcing due to
changing boreal disturbance regimes.
The second position is associated with Dr. Ted Schuur's lab and will
focus on an National Science Foundation-funded project located near
Denali National Park, on the fate of permafrost carbon in a warming
world. Radiocarbon and stable isotope measurements of carbon pools and
fluxes are an important component of this project for determining the
age of carbon losses from ecosystems.
For both positions, candidates with a background in biogeochemistry,
ecosystem ecology, plant ecology, soil science, forestry, hydrology, or
isotopes are encouraged to apply. Field experience is required.
Postdocs will be stationed in Alaska during the summer and Gainesville,
Florida during the winter. Salary is commensurate with experience, and
full health care benefits are provided for individuals and families.
