Post-Doctoral Scientist: Soil Carbon
Employer: Plant & Food Research
Date Posted: 01/04/2015
Application Deadline: 1/23/2015
Job Description
Three year fixed Term
Lincoln, Christchurch, New Zealand
Vacancy 9545
The Soil, Water & Environment Group works with land-based industries to develop the knowledge and tools needed to promote economically and environmentally sustainable management and use of soil and water resources in agricultural and horticultural production systems.
Developing long-term sustainable strategies for increasing soil carbon depend on understanding the key factors that affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilisation. We seek to understand the principal mechanisms that affect soil carbon stabilisation and to develop methods to determine the stabilisation capacity and vulnerability of soil carbon loss. These methods will be applied to identify those soils that have the greatest potential to stabilise additional SOC and land use practices that enhance SOC stabilisation.
In this three year post-doctoral appointment you will play a lead role in delivering research to:
• Identify the physical and chemical properties that affect soil carbon stabilisation in a wide range of New Zealand soils
• Develop improved methods to predict the carbon stabilisation capacity of New Zealand soils
• Synthesise findings from available studies to identify land use practices that affect soil carbon stabilisation and the potential for soil carbon sequestration.
The research will be funded by the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) and will involve close collaborations with scientists from AgResearch Ltd, Massey University and CSIRO Land and Water.
You will have a PhD in Soil or Environmental Science and will combine a track record of conducting innovative research on soil elemental cycles, including soil carbon, with well developed communication and interpersonal skills.

土壤，水和环境工程集团以土地为基础的产业发展，促进经济和环境的可持续管理和利用水土资源，农业和园艺生产系统所需的知识和工具。
开发用于增加土壤碳长期可持续的战略依赖于了解影响土壤有机碳（SOC）稳定的关键因素。我们设法了解影响土壤碳稳定和发展的方法来确定稳定能力土壤碳流失和脆弱性的主要机制。这些方法将适用于识别那些有稳定的提升SOC稳定的额外SOC和土地利用方式的最大潜力的土壤。
在这种3年博士后预约您将在提供研究，发挥主导作用：
•确定影响土壤碳稳定在广泛新西兰土壤的物理和化学性质
•制定改进的方法来预测新西兰土壤的碳稳定能力
•合成从现有的研究结果，以确定影响土壤碳的稳定和土壤固碳潜力的土地利用方式。
这项研究由新西兰农业温室气体研究中心（NZAGRC）资助，并涉及与AgResearch公司，梅西大学和CSIRO土地和水的科学家紧密合作。
你将不得不在土壤或环境科学博士学位，将结合开展土壤元素的周期，包括土壤碳创新研究的记录，与发达的沟通和人际交往能力。
