1 week ago
The Commonwealth of Virginia is seeking an experienced Environmental Biogeochemistry Research Scientist to join their team at the University of Virginia.
Job DescriptionThis role will focus on quantifying and predicting forest soil biogeochemical processes that control nutrient and toxic element ecosystem services in forests of the eastern United States. The successful candidate will leverage existing datasets and generate new ones to investigate the spatial and temporal scaling of nutrient cycling and toxic element sequestration.
Key Responsibilities:- Lead the synthesis of existing data, collecting new forest soil samples, and integrate them into spatial models using geospatial tools (e.g. ArcMap, QGIS) and resources (e.g SSURGO, surficial geology vectors)
- Develop and apply process-based biogeochemistry models (e.g. CENTURY model, PnET, BGM-Model) to predict the abundance, storage, and transport of elements
- Mentor undergraduate and graduate students, participate in field excursions for tree and soil sampling, attend conferences, and publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals
To be successful in this role, you will need a PhD degree in Earth or Environmental Sciences, Biogeochemistry, Soil Science, or a relevant program by the start date. You must also demonstrate the ability to work in a collaborative and inclusive group, with experience in soil science, analytical chemistry, and/or physicochemical analyses of soils.
Preferred Qualifications:- Forest ecosystem science background (course work and field sampling)
- Proficiency in coding and modeling in either R, Matlab, or Python
- Examples of serving as a mentor and project management
This position offers a competitive salary, benefits package, and opportunities for professional development. The estimated annual salary for this role is $60,000-$80,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
About the RoleThis is a one-year appointment, renewable for an additional year based on performance and funding availability. The University of Virginia values diversity and inclusion and is committed to creating an environment where all employees can thrive.
