Post doc Biogeochemistry/Ecology of boreal and arctic lake ecosystems
Climate Impact Research Centre (CIRC) undertakes research on how climatic and environmental changes are impacting the environment in the north. CIRC is part of the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science at Umeå University and stationed year-round in Abisko, Kiruna municipality. For more information see the CIRCs homepage: www.emg.umu.se/circ/index_eng.html The successful candidate is expected to collaborate with ongoing aquatic projects at CIRC with focus on boreal and arctic aquatic ecosystems.

Other research directions of relevance for boreal-arctic aquatic ecosystems could also be considered. The post doc positions are planned for a period of one year with the possibility of a one year extension, starting as soon as possible. Further information can be obtained from Dr Jan Karlsson, Jan.Karlsson@emg.umu.se. Candidates should have a PhD.
