A two- to three-year postdoctoral position is available to study the
sensitivity of different carbon and nitrogen fluxes to variation in timing
of ecosystem disturbance.  The successful applicant will make extensive
measurements of soil nitrogen transformations, gaseous nitrogen loss, and
soil and plant nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios at the ECOCELL facility
at the Desert Research Institute.  A Ph.D. in an area of ecology or soil
science is required.  The applicant must have the ability to function as
part of a team.  This is a cooperative project between the University of
Arkansas (R.D. Evans) and the Desert Research Institute (Jim Coleman,
Weixin Cheng, Yiqi Luo) and the successful candidate must be willing to
