Postdoctoral Research: Assessing the biophysical drivers of the CH4 source sink transition in Northern Forests
The School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University invites applications for a full-time, fiscal year appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar. The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will be based at ASU and will lead efforts to advance our understanding of microbial physiology and microbial ecology of methanogens and methanotrophs in the soils.
Terrestrial ecosystems are undergoing a broad range of responses to climate change, and in particular feedbacks leading to ecosystem transitions from greenhouse gas sinks to sources demand immediate attention. Forested ecosystems like transitional subboreal forest provide an important case to study transitions from methanotrophic to methanogenic activities and microbial functioning relevant for large areas of the northern forests.
