Postdoctoral Position available at The Pennsylvania State University

[Margaret Frederick]

Hello all,

A postdoctoral position is available at The Pennsylvania State University focusing on analysis of nutrient flows in agricultural landscapes of the Chesapeake Bay area. Overall the project (thrivingag.org) seeks to increase agricultural productivity and environmental quality (especially water quality) in landscapes with intermixed agricultural and urbanized lands. This postdoc can support various components of our large, interdisciplinary team depending on the strengths and interests of the selected candidate. Some examples include: field research in carbon or nutrient cycling, data synthesis or simulation modelling of nutrient cycles at field to large basin scales, or modelling in collaboration with other project team members to link nutrient cycling models with economic models. The position also includes some project management, field research support and outreach responsibilities. The initial appointment is for one year, but assuming strong performance, reappointment is anticipated. Our team has a strong track record of placing postdocs in career positions. We are open to recruiting candidates with a wide array of skills working at any scale, including backgrounds in ecosystem ecology, agroecology, soil science, engineering, economics, and biogeochemistry. Applicants are encouraged to contact Jason Kaye (jp...@psu.edu) for more information and consult the complete job posting at PSUs workday site by searching REQ_0000026315-1.
