Graduate Assistantship in Wetland carbon biogeochemistry, LSU, US
Graduate research assistantship is available to support students pursuing M.S. or Ph. D. degree in the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, College of Coast and Environment, Louisiana State University, starting Fall 2021. LSU’s College of the Coast & Environment (CC&E) has been at the forefront of coastal and environmental issues for nearly a century. Interested candidates should have a B.S. or M.S. degree in environmental sciences, marine sciences, marine biology, geology, physical sciences or related fields. The major focus of research for the selected student would be to work on a funded project to understand the fate and transport of organic carbon in marshes undergoing accelerated land-loss in coastal Louisiana.
 If you meet the minimum qualifications and would like to know more about it, please contact Dr. Kanchan Maiti at kmaiti@lsu.edu for further information.

Five Postdoctoral Positions for Soil Physics and Hydrology, Northwest A&F University, Shaanxi, China
We seek five highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join a soil physics and hydrology team working to better understand the transport, fate, and dynamics of soil water, heat, solute and greenhouse gas (GHG) in cold and arid regions. The successful candidates will work closely with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Hailong He from the Northwest A&F University (NWAFU). Successful candidates are expected to be with expertise in any of the following research areas: development of new scientific instruments/software for measurement/analysis of soil water/ice content, hydraulic and thermal properties (1 position), synthesis and evaluation of soil thermal/hydraulic schemes for numerical simulation as well as developing schemes with increased performance (2 positions), and remote sensing of land surface change /soil erosion/permafrost degradation/terrestrial water storage (2 positions). These postdoctoral fellows would work on specific directives and would also actively collaborate between projects.

Term: full time, 2-year, with possibility of renewal based on performance and funding availability
Salary: US$30,769.00~63,846 per year + bonus awards
About Northwest A&F University (NWAFU): NWAFU is based in Yangling, Shaanxi, China. NWAFU is deeply committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusivity and our team seeks to create an open and welcoming community for individuals of all backgrounds. Yangling is a beautiful town next to the river and mountains, within 30 min by high speed train or 1 hour by car away from Xi’an.

Minimum Requirements:
●    Completed PhD degree in earth science, soil science, cryospheric science, hydrology, geography, geology, electric engineering, computer science, biogeochemistry, agroecology, climate science or related discipline. The candidate is required to be within three years receiving his/her Ph.D.
●    A basic understanding of soil science and hydrology
●    Evidence of independence and creativity in conducting research in one or more of the following: lab-based measurement/incubation/soil column experiment, field-based observations, scientific instruments or software development, hydro-thermal modeling, landscape evolution and/or sediment transport modeling, or use and analysis of remotely sensed datasets
Application instructions:
Inquiries should be sent to Dr. Hailong He at hailong.he@nwafu.edu.cn. To apply please email your (1) cover letter (maximum 2 pages, detailing qualifications, and research interests), (2) CV (maximum 2 pages), (3) digitized copies of transcripts, and (4) names and contact information for three references bundled as one PDF to Dr. Hailong He. Please entitle the subject line “Soil Physics and Hydrology Postdoctoral Researcher”. Applications will be reviewed as received and will be open until filled, desired position start date: April 1, 2021 or after ASAP.

 

Postdoctoral Scholar: Soil Biogeochemistry, UC Merced, CA
The postdoc recruited for this position will work on a collaborative project with the Salk Institute of Biological Studies - Harnessing Plants Initiative. The project will investigate deep soil organic matter dynamics, in particular retention and persistence of plant-derived organic compounds in deep soil layers. Responsibilities of the postdoc will include leading all the field and laboratory work related to the project (including traveling to multiple research sites across the US Southwest, wet chemistry, dry combustion/elemental and isotopic analyses, spectroscopy, and a range of soil analyses) along with leading the data analyses and manuscript preparation for all items related to the project. Deadline: Thursday, Mar 18, 2021 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time), Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled.
