Post-Doctoral Scientist: Soil Carbon

Employer:   Plant & Food Research

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.

 開發(fā)用于增加土壤碳長期可持續(xù)的戰(zhàn)略依賴于了解影響土壤有機(jī)碳（SOC）穩(wěn)定的關(guān)鍵因素。我們設(shè)法了解影響土壤碳穩(wěn)定和發(fā)展的方法來確定穩(wěn)定能力土壤碳流失和脆弱性的主要機(jī)制。這些方法將適用于識別那些有穩(wěn)定的提升SOC穩(wěn)定的額外SOC和土地利用方式的最大潛力的土壤。

 在這種3年博士后預(yù)約您將在提供研究，發(fā)揮主導(dǎo)作用：
•確定影響土壤碳穩(wěn)定在廣泛新西蘭土壤的物理和化學(xué)性質(zhì)
•制定改進(jìn)的方法來預(yù)測新西蘭土壤的碳穩(wěn)定能力
•合成從現(xiàn)有的研究結(jié)果，以確定影響土壤碳的穩(wěn)定和土壤固碳潛力的土地利用方式。

 這項(xiàng)研究由新西蘭農(nóng)業(yè)溫室氣體研究中心（NZAGRC）資助，并涉及與AgResearch公司，梅西大學(xué)和CSIRO土地和水的科學(xué)家緊密合作。
