Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at the Commonwealth of Virginia. The successful candidate will work on a project focused on quantifying and predicting forest soil biogeochemical processes that control nutrient and toxic element ecosystem services in forests of the eastern United States.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the synthesis of existing data, collecting new forest soil samples, and integrate them into spatial models using geospatial tools and resources.
  • Develop and implement process-based biogeochemistry models to predict the abundance, storage, and transport of elements.
  • Mentor undergraduate and graduate students, participate in field excursions, and conduct research projects from conceptualization to manuscript publishing.
  • Collaborate with a multi-institutional project team to collect and integrate geochemical and physiochemical soil measurements.
Requirements
  • PhD degree in Earth or Environmental Sciences, Biogeochemistry, Soil Science, or a relevant program.
  • Experience in soil science, analytical chemistry, and/or physicochemical analyses of soils.
  • Two related first-author peer-reviewed publications.
  • Valid Driver's License to travel to field sites.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Forest ecosystem science background and proficiency in coding and modeling in R, Matlab, or Python.
  • Examples of serving as a mentor and project management.
Working Conditions

This is a mix of data analyses and technical writing using a desktop computer, as well as conducting field sampling outdoors during the growing season, and making analytical measurements in a laboratory setting. Overnight travel within the United States may be required.

How to Apply

Please submit your application, including your CV, cover letter, and contact information for three professional references. Review of applications will be rolling, and the University will perform background checks on all new hires prior to employment.
