Graduate Position, Arctic Soil Ecology
Graduate Position in Terrestrial Elemental Cycling and Greenhouse Gas
Budgets Under a Future Climate at Churchill, Manitoba A M.Sc. or Ph.D. position is available in the Department of Soil Science at The University of Manitoba in sub-arctic climate change research. The research will involve establishment and monitoring of elemental and greenhouse gas flux stations in plant communities in the vicinity of the Churchill Northern Study Centre. In addition, manipulation of soil temperature and water at selected plant communities will be done to determine changes in elemental cycling and greenhouse gas budgets under a future climate. The project is part of the larger Arcticnet Network of Centre of Excellence (http://www.arcticnet-ulaval.ca/), specifically Theme 3.2. A stipend is available ($16,500/yr) but interested students holding scholarships are encouraged to apply as top-up awards are presently available. The student's travel, accommodation and food expenses while at the Churchill Northern Study Centre are covered under the project. The Department of Soil Science at the University of Manitoba has 8 faculty members covering the major fields of Soil Science and Agrometeorology. It is a vibrant department with over 40 graduate students and infrastructure for conducting field and laboratory research being state of the art. The City of Winnipeg is one of Canada's largest cosmopolitan cities, with major transportation services and outdoor activities readily accessible from the city. Churchill is serviced by Via Rail and daily flights from Winnipeg. The student will be co-supervised by Drs. Mario Tenuta (Soil Science, University of Manitoba) and Rick Bello (York University, Geography). Individuals interested in learning more about this graduate opportunity can contact Mario ) or Rick ). |
