there is a research group and a field research station situated in Skara.*
Duties:
The group Biogeochemistry of Forest Soils in the Department of Soil and
Environment is looking for a postdoc to explore the cycling of carbon and
phosphorus in soils in different terrestrial ecosystems. The postdoc will
work with soils from long-term field experiments and environmental
monitoring sites under different types of land-use on different continents.
He/She will use stable as well as non-stable isotopes to explore carbon and
phosphorus cycling and conduct method development.
Qualifications:
- PhD in Soil Science or similar
- Experience in (stable or non-stable) isotope analysis
- Experience in substance-specific isotope analysis is desirable
- Experience in soil chemical analyses
- High proficiency in statistical analyses
- High proficiency in spoken and written English
