THIS IS A FWD MESSAGE ********************* >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.
