Postdoctoral Position in Tree Belowground Site Occupancy in Boreal Forests

Postdoctoral Position in Tree Belowground Site Occupancy in Boreal Forests

SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Umeå, Sweden

About the position

We seek a post doc to focus on investigating tree root spatial distribution and patterns in water and nitrogen uptake along moisture and fertility gradients in boreal forests in northern Sweden. The post doc will work with stable isotopes (e.g.15N, 2H) in forests in area at the Svartberget field station. The project will measure differences in belowground site occupancy by tracing the fate of stable isotopes in trees and in the soil. Thus, the post doc is expected to plan and carry out field work, process plant and soil samples for chemical analysis and analyse data into publishable manuscripts.

Your profile

The qualifications required for this position is:

  • A PhD in a discipline such as Biology, Plant physiology, Soil Science, Ecology, Forestry, or any relevant area of study resulting in relevant skills for the post poc project area.
  • Experience in stable isotopes, chemical analysis, field work and data analysis, as evidenced through relevant first-authored publications.
  • Very good command of the English language is also required, both written and spoken.

As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.
