https://lbl.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/biogeochemistry-climate-change-postdoc-6760

Berkeley Lab’s (LBNL) Climate and Ecosystem Sciences (CESD) Division is seeking an innovative Postdoctoral researcher to investigate the controls of ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycling, and how these cycles are affected by climate warming and soil depth. You will contribute to a cutting-edge grassland soil-warming experiment in Point Reyes, California, and will advance the mechanistic understanding of below ground biogeochemistry and its role in global change. They will use field and laboratory measurements (including isotopic techniques) to study the effects of warming, soil depth, and plant inputs on the microbial transformation and de/stabilization of soil carbon and plant-soil nitrogen cycling.

Join our dynamic research team of experts in soil biogeochemistry, plant and microbial ecology, geochemistry, and Earth system modeling. The primary advisor is Margaret Torn. If you are passionate about terrestrial biogeochemistry, excited about fieldwork and connecting your work to ecosystem models, we encourage you to apply.

We will begin reviewing applications on December 2, 2024.
