Vacancy: post-doctoral position at Indiana University (USA)
We are seeking a highly-motivated individual to join our research team at Indiana University in investigating ecosystem carbon dynamics in forests, with a primary focus on belowground processes. The successful applicant will investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of carbon assimilation and allocation in the mixed hardwood forests of south-central IN – a project funded by the Office of Science (BER), U.S. Department of Energy.
Postdoctoral fellow – plant ecophysiology/soil biogeochemistry

The postdoc will be mentored by Dr. Danilo Dragoni (Geography) and Dr.Richard Phillips (Biology). The large majority of the fieldwork will be conducted at the Morgan Monroe State Forest AmeriFlux site, IN which is approximately 30 minutes from the IU - Bloomington campus. The preferred starting period is fall, 2010.
Qualifications: A Ph.D. in ecology, biogeochemistry and soils - completed before the start-date. Demonstrated expertise in plant ecophysiology, soil microbial ecology or biogeochemical analyses is required. Experience in using meteorological and forest-ecology instrumentation is also strongly preferred. Successful applicants will demonstrate the ability to work independently and to mentor undergraduate and graduate research assistants.
Salary: Commensurate with experience. Full benefits included.
Please send a cover letter, full CV, pdf(s) of relevant publications and the names of 3 references (with phone numbers and email addresses). Applications should be sent to Danilo Dragoni <ddragoni@indiana.edu> and Richard Phillips <rpp6@indiana.edu>.
