The incumbent is a Supervisory Research Scientist serving as either a Soil Scientist, Agronomist, or Meteorologist and as the Research Leader for the Soil Management Research Unit located in Morris, MN. The incumbent will plan and execute research quantitatively assessing the efficacy of common and aspirational agricultural practices to positively influence carbon, nitrogen, water and energy dynamics in the soil, water, or air.
• Contribute to and lead aspects of field investigations, data collection, maintenance of field research equipment (Campbell’s Scientific and LI-COR micrometeorological devices), and data analysis involving the exchange of water, carbon, and/or greenhouse gases at the soil, vegetation, and atmospheric interface using eddy covariance and trace gas analyzers.
• Organize and publish research results in peer-reviewed journals.
• Collaborate and provide support to other Unit research activities.
• Participate in working groups, conference calls, and annual meetings.
EPA/ORD position to support projects in atmosphere-biosphere exchange and atmospheric composition
EPA Office of Research and Development is seeking to fill a PI level position to conduct research related to methane emissions from area sources.
The Northern Research Station is hiring a Research Ecologist/Research Meteorologist (GS-0408/1340-12/13) with a duty location in Durham, NH. This position has promotion potential to GS-15
The scientist will utilize eddy flux tower data and related methods to better understand how ecosystems can be managed to increase the uptake and persistence of stored carbon and will address other questions relating to forest climate feedbacks. This involves developing and testing new ways of making and interpreting measurements of ecosystem gas exchange and bringing field data (ecosystem flux using diverse methods such as eddy covariance and remote sensing, intensive biometric data such as tree ring increment, extensive data such as inventories) and models together.
