>Two postdoctoral positions in the Ecology Center, Utah State University
>
>Postdoctoral position - Plant Ecophysiology/Ecosystem Ecology in Utah
>
>We anticipate a post-doctoral position will be available beginning fall
>1998 in the Ecology Center, Utah State University.  The successful
>applicant will be part of an interdisciplinary project examining
>temporal changes in resource availability in sagebrush-bunchgrass,
>juniper, and annual grass dominated communities in
>the Great Basin.  The postdoc will be involved in research examining the
>
>role of "hydraulic lift", root depth distributions, and soil depth in
>community-level gas exchange, water relations, stem flux, foliage area
>index, and nitrogen acquisition.  Most of the work will be at a field
>site in central Utah and require some irregular hours.  Natural
>abundance of stable isotopes will also be involved.  Applicants must
>have completed a Ph.D. in plant ecology or a related field by the
>starting date, be able to drive to remote field sites, and have
>demonstrated abilities in written and oral communication.  Experience
>with isotopes (15N, 13C, 14C), plant gas exchange analysis, soil
>psychrometry, plant water relations, computer data bases, spreadsheets
>and techniques for soil and plant tissue analysis are desirable.  The
>appointment will be for two years with extensions possible, depending on
>
>performance.  Send a C.V., a statement of research interests, copies of
>representative publications, and names, addresses, telephone numbers,
>and e-mail addresses of three references to: Martyn Caldwell, Ecology
>Center, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322-5205.  AA/EOE.

>live in Tierra del Fuego approximately half of the year (October -
>March), be able to drive to field sites, and have demonstrated abilities
>
>in written and oral communication.  A basic knowledge of conversational
>Spanish is highly desirable.  Knowledge and experience with solar

>Sphagnum biology, and litter decomposition experiments, computer data
