| Position Summary | This position is a highly responsible research support position at SREL. Incumbent is responsible for assisting with ongoing research projects investigating biomass production and nitrogen cycling in intensively-managed forest plantations. The primary duties will focus on analyzing biomass production and soil chemistry data from an experiment designed to assess the effects of silvicultural treatments on tree productivity and nitrogen cycling. The incumbent will lead the preparation of at least two peer-reviewed manuscripts-one focusing on biomass production as a function of silvicultural treatment and another focusing on nitrogen dynamics. The incumbent will also collaborate with other project scientists in cross-study syntheses and modeling efforts, and identify other potential publishable units that can be derived from existing datasets. The incumbent will explore opportunities to establish new research, which will involve proposal development. |
