Postdoc position at Yale: global soil geochemistry and organic carbon storage
Yale University, Connecticut, United States
Start reviewing process: 1 July 2024


The Slessarev Lab is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate (PA) to study the relationship between soil geochemical composition and soil organic carbon storage at continental to global scales. Apply here: http://apply.interfolio.com/148229.


This position will be supported by grant funding from the US DOE Earth and Environmental Systems Science Division in its first year. The position can potentially be extended for additional years with available Yale administered funding or external funding support. Compensation in year 1 is $68,000 with benefits detailed here: https://postdocs.yale.edu/applicants/yale-benefit-summary. This position is expected to start in Fall 2024.

The PA will work with collaborators to analyze a newly developed global soil geochemical database. Using this database, the PA will lead an investigation exploring relationships between soil weathering status and the geography of organic carbon storage. In addition, the PA will work with collaborators to partition the influence of climate and geologic variables on soil geochemical composition using statistical and process-based models. If the appointment is extended to multiple years, the PA will have opportunities to develop independent research related to these themes, potentially involving field and laboratory work in addition to computational approaches.
