Doctorate//U.Ill U-C//Soil Science, Ecologyf
Postdoctoral Research Associate available in the biogeochemistry of
bioenergy crops. Investigate the environmental impacts of bioenergy crop
production, focusing on nitrogen biogeochemistry. Large-scale bioenergy
crop trials are being initiated (Miscanthus, switchgrass, restored
prairie, and continuous corn) this spring in Illinois as part of the
Energy Biosciences Institute <http://energybiosciencesinstitute.org/>to
evaluate all environmental impacts of production. Research will include
all components of the nitrogen cycle, including leaching losses of
nitrate, gas emissions, and changes in soil storage pools. Collaborative
work with others on research team (Environmental Impact and
Sustainability of Feedstock Production) evaluating carbon and water
fluxes. Qualifications include a Ph.D. in biogeochemistry, soil science,
ecology, agronomy, or related field. Demonstrated research abilities in
biogeochemistry desired, including soil and water measurement
techniques, stable isotopes, and trace gas measurements. An aptitude for
conducting independent research and publishing results. Start date:
spring 2008. To apply, send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the
contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail
addresses) of three academic references to Dr. Mark David, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Sciences, W-503 Turner Hall, 1102 S. Goodwin Av., Urbana,
IL 61801. 217-333-4308, mbdavid@xxxxxxxx <mailto:mbdavid@xxxxxxxx>
