Postdoctoral Position - Carbon and Water Fluxes in Boreal Forests

Postdoctoral Position - Carbon and Water Fluxes in Boreal Forests

SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Umeå, Sweden

About the position

We seek a postdoc to focus on exploring the coupling of the carbon and water balances in response to drought and management for boreal forests in northern Sweden. The post doc will work with a decade-long record of eddy-covariance (EC) flux measurements in contrasting boreal forests, which includes the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) ecosystem station Svartberget located within the Krycklan catchment and the nearby Rosinedal long-term fertilization experimental sites. The project will develop estimates of forest-floor, ecosystem and landscape scale fluxes and its underlying controls based on below-canopy, conventional and tall-tower EC measurements, respectively. Thus, the post-doc is expected to process and analyze EC data from several measurement systems, and integrate already existing datasets into publishable manuscripts

Your profile

The successful candidate must have:

  • a PhD in a discipline such as Environmental Sciences, Ecology, Forestry, or any other area relevant for the postdoc project.
  • Knowledge of micrometeorological theory and skills in processing, analyzing and publishing flux data from eddy covariance measurements, as evidenced through relevant first-authored publications.
  • Very good command of the English language is also required, both written and spoken.
  • Previous knowledge of the boreal forest carbon and water cycles are considered as a merit

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.
