15N Stable Isotope Tracing of Gaseous Nitrogen Losses
Lead the refinement of analytical methods for measuring 15N₂O isotopomers and 15N₂, and use isotope tracing to investigate fertilizer-derived gaseous nitrogen losses from agricultural soils.
View position details
The postdoctoral fellow will work with the Stable Isotope Facility to advance methods using an isoFLOW GHG analyzer and conduct experiments that quantify fertilizer-derived losses of N₂O and N₂.
The research will integrate isotope tracing and isotopomer mapping to distinguish nitrogen transformation pathways and improve understanding of the biophysical drivers of emissions across diverse agroecosystems.
Requirements
- PhD in soil science or a related discipline
- Experience measuring greenhouse gas fluxes from soil
- Experience with 15N is desirable but not essential
- Ability to lead research independently and publish in peer-reviewed journals
Application materials
Submit a CV, cover letter, and two professional references.
Postdoctoral fellowship
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Atmospheric Sciences
Apply atmospheric measurements and inverse modelling to quantify regional N₂O and CO₂ budgets from a tall-tower observatory in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
View position details
The fellow was to support establishment of a regional tall-tower observatory where atmospheric mixing ratios of N₂O, CO, and CO₂ are measured, then use those data with inverse modelling to estimate regional greenhouse gas budgets and source attribution.
The position involved collaboration with researchers at the University of Guelph, University of Manitoba, and University of Minnesota, along with opportunities to mentor students, attend conferences, and publish research findings.
Requirements
- PhD focused on atmospheric sciences, micrometeorology, or a related discipline
- Experience with gas analyzers, micrometeorological instrumentation, or atmospheric inverse models
- Ability to lead research independently and publish in peer-reviewed journals
Application materials
The original posting requested a CV, cover letter, and two professional reference contacts.
