Stream ecology post-doc: Arizona State

Post-doctoral position in ecosystem ecology/ biogeochemistry at Arizona State University

Applications are solicited for a post-doctoral associate in ecosystem ecology, ecohydrology, stream ecology, and/or biogeochemistry in the laboratory of Nancy Grimm at Arizona State University. An initial appointment will be made for one year, to begin as soon as possible (preferably before September 2010), but appointment for a second year is expected contingent upon funding. The work will entail research, laboratory oversight, and mentoring of graduate and undergraduate researchers. The specific research project to be conducted will depend on the interests of the successful applicant, within a broad array of topics from urban stormwater dynamics to atmosphere-land-stream
interactions to metabolism and nutrient dynamics of stream and wetland ecosystems.
The successful applicant will have opportunities to
interact with long-term projects including the urban Central
Arizona-Phoenix (CAP) LTER and the Sycamore Creek LTREB project in
collaboration with other faculty members at ASU. Responsibilities also
include supervision of two laboratory technicians, several
undergraduate researchers, and informal mentoring of four graduate
students, while Grimm is on leave at the National Science Foundation.
Given this level of responsibility, exceptionally qualified applicants
may expect to receive a relatively high level of compensation.
To apply, send letter detailing background and interests, names,
telephone numbers, and email addresses of three references, and
Curriculum Vitae to:
John.Priewe@asu.edu <mailto:John.Priewe@asu.edu>
by June 30, 2010. Please create one PDF file with all of your
application materials. A background check is required for employment.
Arizona State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer committed to excellence through diversity.
