Closing date for applications is 31 December 2002
The Abisko Scientific Research Station (ANS) under the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for three years
to work within the project BALANCE, funded by the European Union. The
project will be carried out within the existing close collaboration
between ANS (Prof. Terry V. Callaghan) and the Department of Physical
Geography and Ecosystem Analysis at Lund University (Dr. Torben R.
Christensen), Sweden. The successful candidate's responsibility will be
to focus on the application and improvement of an established suite of
terrestrial ecosystem models to the Barents Region and compare model
outputs and available data for a range of ecosystem attributes such as
vegetation distribution, carbon storage and trace gas fluxes. An
innovative aspect of the project will be to develop linkages between
vegetation/ecosystem models and models of reindeer grazing and hydrology.
Candidates must have experience in terrestrial ecosystem modelling,
programming and process oriented practical work on functional aspects of
northern terrestrial ecosystems. They should possess a PhD in a relevant
background subject such as plant ecology, biogeophysics,
biogeochemistry, physical geography or environmental science. The
successful candidate will be based at the new Centre for Geobiosphere
Dynamics at Lund University but will make frequent visits to Abisko in
subarctic Sweden.
