 Location: Los Angeles, California Deadline: 31 Jan 2011 Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Terrestrial Biogeochemistry at UCLA The Department of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences at the University of California Los Angeles, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work in the area of trace gas studies of biosphere-atmosphere exchange. The main focus of the position will be on the gross fluxes of carbon and water between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, and the response of terrestrial systems to climate change. The project combines modelling and observations, including automated measurements of atmospheric trace gases (e.g., CO2, H2O, isotopes, CH4, Carbonyl Sulfide) with laser spectroscopy instruments. The candidate is expected to spend time in the field. This may include three months continuously in 2011 as part of a research team on climate change experiments in the High Arctic tundra in Thule, NW Greenland. A PhD degree in a discipline such as environmental science, chemistry or physics is required. Scientists with experience in trace gas and isotopic measurements and/or modelling are encouraged to apply. The initial appointment is for one year, and may be extended for up to three years. Salary is commensurate with experience. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. To apply, please submit via e-mail a brief statement of research interests and goals, with a complete CV, and contact information for three references to Ulli Seibt (useibt@ucla.edu). The University of California Los Angeles is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity.
