The department of geography at Trent University seeks applicants for a
post-doctoral position in Arctic Tundra-Atmosphere Interactions.
Professor Lafleur is looking for a motivated post-doctoral candidate to
work on a synthesis of eddy covariance data from sites in the Canadian
Arctic. The ideal candidate will have general knowledge of ecology and
ecosystem processes, with specific knowledge and experience with eddy
covariance flux towers and data. Working knowledge of MATLAB is an
important asset. Previous experience in arctic ecosystems is also an
asset, but not essential. Primary responsibilities will include analysis
and interpretation of an extensive eddy covariance data set, leading to
the writing of manuscripts for submission to scholarly scientific
journals. Some fieldwork may be required, such as set up and maintenance
of the tower equipment. The position will be for one year, with the
possibility of extension depending upon funding. The position is located
at Trent University, in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The salary is
$42,500 CDN per year.
Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae and the names
of 3 references to:
