The Harms lab is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher with expertise and interests in biogeochemistry, hydrology, and data synthesis. The researcher will join a collaborative team funded by the NASA ABoVE program to decrease uncertainty in estimates of high-latitude C balance by incorporating lateral fluxes and landscape change. The post-doctoral researcher will lead synthesis of data describing spatial and temporal patterns in riverine fluxes of water, carbon, and nitrogen in permafrost-influenced regions of Alaska and northern Canada. The researcher will apply statistical approaches for time series to quantify long-term trends and shorter-term temporal patterns in river discharge and chemistry as a function of climate, landscape attributes, and permafrost thaw.
Expected start date is by Jan 2023. Remote work is possible. Prospective applicants should contact Dr. Harms (tamara.harms@alaska.edu) by Oct 20 with a CV, a cover letter describing research interests and experience, and the names and contact information for three references.
