Postdoctoral Researchers in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Manure Systems

This position for Postdoctoral Researchers in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Manure Systems requires advanced expertise in environmental science, agricultural systems, and atmospheric chemistry. Candidates should possess a strong background in measuring, analyzing, and modeling greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide, originating from manure management systems. Proficiency in experimental design and fieldwork involving manure handling and storage systems is essential. Experience with gas sampling techniques, use of gas analyzers such as gas chromatography or infrared spectroscopy, and data acquisition systems is expected. Researchers must be skilled in statistical analysis and software tools for environmental data interpretation, such as R, MATLAB, or Python. A thorough understanding of biogeochemical processes influencing greenhouse gas fluxes in agricultural contexts is critical. Familiarity with life cycle assessment (LCA) and emission inventory methodologies will be advantageous. The role likely involves collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, requiring strong communication skills and the ability to publish scientific findings in peer-reviewed journals. Candidates should hold a doctoral degree (PhD) in environmental science, soil science, agricultural engineering, or related fields, demonstrating rigorous academic training and research competence. Prior experience in sustainable agriculture, climate change mitigation strategies, or manure management technologies will be beneficial. Overall, the role demands a combination of technical expertise in greenhouse gas measurement and analysis, practical knowledge of manure systems, and the capacity to contribute to advancing research on reducing agricultural emissions.
