Research Associate in Plant Physiological Ecology
The University of Arizona
School of Renewable Natural Resources
A postdoctoral research position is available immediately to study
physiological dynamics of phreatophytic trees in desert environments.
We seek a recent PhD graduate with experience in the use of stable
isotope and/or sap flow techniques to study uptake of summer
precipitation pulses by trees growing along the San Pedro River near
Tombstone, Arizona. The research is a component of an ongoing project
to investigate controls on ecosystem gas exchange and the role of
plants in the hydrologic cycle of desert basins. The successful
candidate will be responsible for leading field studies during the
2002 growing season involving technicians and several graduate and
undergraduate students. There is ample access to a new mass
spectrometer system (continuous-flow Finnigan delta +) with EA,
TC/EA, Gas-bench, and PreCon peripheral devices and to all the
fundamental tools for field-based studies of plant water relations
(sap flow gauges, pressure chambers, leaf gas exchange systems,
etc.). The salary is very competitive and funding is guaranteed for
two years. Please send a letter of application with a statement of
research interests and experience. Include your vita and names and
contact information for three personal references. Send to Dr. David
G. Williams, School of Renewable Natural Resources, The University of
Arizona, BioSciences East Room 325, Tucson, AZ 85721. Inquiries to
Dr. Williams can be made at dgw at ag.arizona.edu or by phone at
520-621-7259. The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA
Employer-M/W/D/V.
