University of Arizona has flagged the M.S. Assistantship in Wildlife Ecology, Birds & Solar job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.

Postdoctoral Research Associate I, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

University of Arizona

The candidate will install and manage cutting edge field instrumentation for measuring ecosystem (via eddy covariance from towers) soil, and individual tree fluxes (via chambers) of methane, carbon dioxide, and their isotopes in Amazon forests; lead interpretation and publication of resultant data on isotopic composition of fluxes and concentrations of CH4 and CO2, and work as part of an international team comparing carbon flux dynamics to the molecular microbial ecology of methane cycling organisms. The candidate will use a mathematical modeling framework to interpret field observations when possible; and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of ecosystem modelers, microbial biologists, and forest ecologists. 

The science goals of this project (funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and National Science Foundation, with contributions from institutions in Brazil), are to discover and predict how methane-cycling microbial soil communities interact with forest ecology and tree stem transport of gases to affect ecosystem carbon and methane cycling at large scales in the Amazon basin.
