Postdoctoral Research Associate in Environmental Sciences
4 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at the University of Virginia. The successful candidate will work on quantifying and predicting forest soil biogeochemical processes that control nutrient and toxic element ecosystem services in forests of the eastern United States.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will leverage existing data sets and generate new data sets to investigate the spatial and temporal scaling of nutrient cycling and toxic element sequestration. They will collect and integrate geochemical and physiochemical soil measurements to predict sequestration and transport of nutrient, micronutrient, and/or toxic elements in the parent material-soil-plant continuum in rural and peri-urban forest soils from southern states up to New England.
The successful candidate will lead the synthesis of existing data, collect new forest soil samples, and integrate them into spatial models using geospatial tools and resources. They will also mentor undergraduate and graduate students, participate in field excursions for tree and soil sampling, attend at least one conference per year, and conduct all stages of a research project from conceptualization to manuscript publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
The University of Virginia offers a dynamic and inclusive environment for research and professional development. The successful candidate will have opportunities to explore careers through networking, development of mentorship skills, and workshops through the UVA Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs.
Responsibilities- Conduct research on forest soil biogeochemistry and ecosystem services
- Develop and implement spatial models to predict nutrient and toxic element cycling
- Mentor undergraduate and graduate students
- Participate in field excursions and collect soil samples
