Job Summary
Summary Of Position
This is a two-year position on the UNH Frost Sensing (FroSen) Project which aims to understand the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of soil frost and to examine how changing soil frost conditions affect ecosystem processes such as soil carbon and nutrient retention. This position will focus specifically on monitoring soil respiration continuously during winter as freeze-thaw occurs and to quantify both soil carbon and nitrogen retention during winter and the ensuing growing season to provide unique insights into how soil frost and freeze-thaw cycles affect these ecological processes.
Additional Preferred Qualifications
Molecular analysis for soil microbial community characterization ( DNA extraction sequencing bioinformatic analyses)
Additional Job Information
Valid drivers license is required to drive to research sites
