PhD in Soil Chemistry/Biogeosciences
We are looking for candidates who are interested in biogeochemical cycling of carbon in soils and soil degradation. Aim of the three years SNF funded project is to delineate indicators for soil erosion in mineral grassland and forest soils of the Alps and drainage-induced carbon degradation in wetlands both qualitatively and quantitatively. Experience in interpretation of stable isotopes will be appreciated.
Candidates should submit a letter of application, statement of research interests, list of publications (or summary of master thesis), curriculum vitae and addresses of at least 2 referees as early as possible but not later than 28. Oktober 2011 to Prof. Dr. Christine Alewell, Institute of Environmental Geosciences, University of Basel, Bernoullistr. 30, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland or christine.alewell@unibas.ch.
