Graduate Position in Stable Nitrogen Isotope Techniques and Nitrous Oxide Emisisons at the University of Manitoba (updated January 14, 2013)
The Soil Ecology Laboratory at the University of Manitoba is seeking a highly motivated and talented M.Sc. or Ph.D. student for the project “Development of a Stable Nitrogen Isotope Technique for Source Partition and N2O:N2 Ratio Determination of N2O Emissions from Soil ”. The project involves detailed tracking of native and labelled nitrogen in soil in addition to partitioning of label into gaseous products and in the soil-plant system. Only students with exceptional academic history (GPA > 3.5/4.0) will be considered. The position will be open until an excellent candidate is found. The project is to start as soon as availability of the student and graduate acceptance procedures have been completed. The project is of great importance to the commodity groups, farmers, the fertilizer industry and policy makers, thus frequent communication as reports and presentations with project sponsors is required. The candidate will have exceptional abilities to communicate with the partners and have advanced understanding of nitrogen cycling and Canadian crop production systems.
