Geology Postdoctoral Positions For PhD Degree Holders At Stockholm University – Sweden 2009
2 Year Post Doctoral Position in Geology in Improving CH4 water-air exchange models using turbulent energy and isotopic constraints at the Department of Geology and Geochemistry (IGG) in conjunction with the Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research. Ref.no. SU 619-1671-09.
The Department of Geology and Geochemistry (IGG) in conjunction with the Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research announce a 2 year Post Doctoral position. The goal is to quantify the effects of physical and biological controls of the exchange of carbon trace gases in a dynamic mire and lake landscape, Stordalen Mire near Abisko Sweden, that is changing due to regional warming. We want to develop a physical understanding that can be linked to the biogeochemistry by addressing the role of surface energy exchange on C gas release from water surfaces to the atmosphere.
We will use isotope systematics of CH4 across sediment/water and water/air interfaces to link the surface renewal models to better extrapolations and to improve parameterizations of northern gas emissions and atmosphere/surface linkages in the climate system. An important part of this effort involves obtaining measurements that can be used to critically test and improve existing gas exchange models and to characterize the unique isotopic signatures of the CH4 reservoirs from these sources.
The successful candidates would join closely collaborating research groups that participate in the interdepartmental Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research at SU and the new Delta facility for compound specific isotope analysis. Swedish and international collaborations will be actively utilized as well.
Placement at the Department of Geology and Geochemistry.
The position requires a person with a PhD. or equivalent expertise, with good numerical skills and with proven hands-on experience in boundary layer meteorology, micrometeorology, physical limnology, physical oceanography or trace gas isotope systematics. We look for a person who, in close collaboration with others in the research environment, would make:
1. precise lake energy, temperature and gas flux and profile measurements,
2. CO2 and CH4 gas flux and stable isotope measurements, and
3. model development relying on the expertise of our cooperative partners in our research groups and high frequency measurements of weather, energy balance/hydrology.
For further information, please contact Prof. Patrick Crill,

Union representatives are Bo Ekengren (SACO), Lisbeth Häggberg (Fackförbundet ST), telephone +468162000, and Gunnar Stenberg (SEKO), telephone +46703164341
Please include CV, a copy of your university degree(s), a cover letter outlining your qualifications, relevant experiences and interest in the position, name and contact information to three reference persons, and any other documents you would like to include should be submitted with the reference number SU 619-1671-09 no later than October 1, 2009 to:
