The Earth Systems Ecology and Biogeochemistry lab
(www.houlton.lawr.ucdavis.edu [1]) at the University of California,
Davis has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar the area of Global
Biogeochemical Cycling. Working on an NSF-funded project (via Integrated
Earth Systems), the incumbent will investigate the problem of
terrestrial nutrient limitation and its role in the carbon cycle and
climate system. The specific goal of the research is to combine models
with field experiments to examine the role of rock nitrogen weathering
in altering both the size and geographic location of the terrestrial CO2
sink. The project involves several co-PIs whose research cuts across
many different aspects of the geological and biological domains.

Qualifications include a Ph.D. in some aspect of the Earth System
Sciences (e.g., biogeochemistry, geophysics, systems engineering,
computational biology, ecology, etc.). Demonstrated experience with
spatial/numerical biogeochemical modeling (i.e., GIS, R, Fortran etc.)
is highly desired. Candidates whose past research has focused on rock
weathering processes, particularly in relation to tectonic uplift,
climate, and geobiological controls, are especially encouraged to apply.


To apply for the position, please send a cover letter, _cv_, and names
of three references to: Dr. Benjamin Z. Houlton, Associate Professor and
Chancellor’s Fellow, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources,
University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616.
Applications can also be submitted electronically to:
bzhoulton en ucdavis.edu. Applications received by July 15, 2015 will be
given full consideration. Later applications may be considered.

Salary is competitive with a minimum salary of $42,840.  Health benefits
are also provided.  Available funding is for one-year, with the
possibility of extension.  Women and minorities who are
under-represented in the environmental sciences are strongly encouraged
to apply.
