The Department of Earth and Environmental Science of the University of
Pennsylvania invites applicants for competitive Ph.D. fellowships.
Excellent research opportunities exist in soil C biogeochemistry, soil
organic matter characterization, and soil organic matter dynamics.
Additional information about the graduate program in the Department is
available on the Departmental web page at
(http://www.sas.upenn.edu/earth). Possible areas of research include,
but are not limited to: analysis of soil organic matter by thermal
techniques, characterization of soil organic matter protection
mechanisms. The position is ideal for candidates who have completed an
MSc in soil science, geosciences, environmental chemistry or ecosystem
science, but outstanding BSc graduates in such programs will be
considered. Experience in analytical chemistry and stable isotope mass
spectrometry instrumentation are a plus, but not required. For further
information about current research and available positions please
contact Dr. Alain Plante by email ([log in to unmask]).
