Jobs for PhDs
Post Doctoral Positions Available
Marie Curie Excellence Team
Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystems Analysis
University of Lund, Sweden
Deadline for Application: Monday, 2 February 2004
=46or further information, please contact:
Dr. Almut Arneth (arneth@dkrz.de)
Prof. Dr. Anders Lindroth (anders.lindroth@natgeo.lu.se)
or go to:
http://www.cgb.lu.se/English/home.asp
------------------------------------------
The University of Lund, Sweden seeks two post-doctoral research fellows
to join a newly created Marie Curie Excellence Team in the Department of
Physical Geography and Ecosystems Analysis. Objectives of the Marie
Curie Team will be to investigate the fluxes of biogenic reactive
organic carbon compounds (RCC), and aerosols in representative
ecosystems of the northern latitudes (wetlands and forests).
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The work will combine leaf-level and ecosystem flux measurements and
process based modelling activities. Field measurements will be conducted
at existing departmental field sites (subarctic tundra wetland, boreal
forest) to complete established CO2, H2O, and CH4 flux measurements.
Tasks will include micrometeorological measurements and analysis. The
combination of proton-transferreaction mass spectrometry with disjunct
eddy covariance and relaxed eddy accumulation will be used for ecosystem
RCC flux measurements. Aerosol flux and size distribution measurements
will complete these.
The work will also include leaf and soil emission measurements, and
analysis of biochemical processes. Measurements of leaf and soil CO2
fluxes using portable systems will be combined with field sampling of
air for RCC analysis on the PTR mass spectrometer and/or a gas
chromatograph. There will also be the opportunity to conduct emission
studies in controlled growth chambers.
The positions will be (proviso to completion of contract negotiations
with the EC) available from mid 2004. Appointments will be for initially
two years with a possible prolongation to a maximum of four years.
Lund is a pleasant university town in southern Sweden with excellent
connections to Copenhagen International airport. Salaries will be
competitive and in consistence with EC guidelines and will include full
access to the Swedish social security system; an additional mobility
allowance may be available depending on the origin of the applicant.
CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS
- Expertise in the installation, adaptation and precision maintenance
of sophisticated flux measurement equipment, and in programming of
related software (e.g., Metlab, Labview, etc.). Candidates should have a
Ph.D. in physics, meteorology or environmental engineering, or a related
field.
- Ideal candidates will have expertise in the use of portable systems
and with sophisticated laboratory studies (e.g., growth chambers, mass
spectrometers), including adaptation of software. Candidates for this
position should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, plant physiology or
atmospheric chemistry, or a related field.
=46or both positions we welcome candidates with enthusiasm for fieldwork
and for collaboration within a team, as well as an aptness to pose and
solve problems individually. International collaboration will be an
important aspect of the research.
APPLICATIONS
Applications including a detailed description of motivation and research
interests, detailed CV, publication list and names and contact details
of three referees should be sent by email in PDF format to:
Prof. Dr. Anders Lindroth (anders.lindroth@natgeo.lu.se)
Dr. Almut Arneth (arneth@dkrz.de)
Interviews for the posts will be around mid-March 2004.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: Monday, 2 February 2004
