Postdoc: greenhouse gas exchange
We are seeking a Post Doctoral Scientist to expand our multi-faceted team undertaking research on greenhouse gas exchange at a range of spatial and temporal scales in grassland and forest systems.
You should possess a PhD in a plant or soil related discipline with
experience in measuring and modelling soil-plant-atmosphere carbon
dioxide exchange. Enthusiasm for field work and familiarity with gas
exchange, eddy covariance and the use of stable isotopes, and
interests in the measurement of methane and nitrous oxide emissions
and water balance are desirable.
Landcare Research is New Zealand's foremost environmental research
organisation, providing solutions and advice for sustainable
development and the management of land-based natural resources. Our
Global Change Processes Team conducts a long-standing and successful
research programme to measure and model the processes regulating the
exchange of greenhouse gases between soil, plants and the atmosphere,
and to identify viable mitigation options that will reduce net
emissions.
The position is initially for a fixed term of two years, based at our
laboratories at Lincoln, close to Christchurch on the east coast of
the South Island of New Zealand. Applications close 20 July 2010.
