PhD position in carbon cycle studies

we are looking for a PhD student to work at the Finnish Meteorological Institute, at the Greenhouse Gases Research Group. The student will be working in a project "The impact of soil nutrient status on carbon dynamics in forested peatlands - combining continuous flux measurements and isotopic methods" funded by the Nessling foundation. The project is linked to the carbon balance studies conducted at the FMI and the University of Eastern Finland, and includes participating in eddy covariance measurements as well as field and lab studies using isotopes (13C labelling 14C) on forested peatlands. The student will also be involved in the development work of the atmospheric measurements of 13C isotope and in other research activities conducted by the group.

Requirements: MSc in chemistry, physics, meteorology, engineering, environmental science or comparable; willingness to participate in different field as well as lab studies; fluent English language skills; ability to analytical thinking and writing scientific papers in peer reviewed journals; experience with isotopes is a special merit

We offer 3-years grant starting in early 2010, an international research team, mobility and career possibility, as well as opportunities to attend training courses, exchange visits and meetings. Please send your application, including a CV with possible publications to Dr. Annalea Lohila (annalea.lohila(at)fmi.fi). The application deadline is January 20, 2010. For more information please contact Annalea Lohila or Tuomas Laurila (tuomas.laurila(at)fmi.fi), the head of the research group, or visit our homepage http://www.fmi.fi/research_climate/climate_3.html

Kiitos,
