We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work on a collaborative study focused on greenhouse gas emissions from California dairy farms. The postdoc will be based in the Silver Lab in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C. Berkeley and collaborate with Dr. Francesca Hopkins at U.C. Riverside, as well as with a diverse group of scientists at other institutions (UCR, LANL, LBNL, UCI, UCD).

A postdoctoral position on greenhouse gas emissions modeling for California dairy farms is available on a multi-campus project funded by the University of California Office of the President Lab Fees program. The postdoc will be jointly advised by Professor Whendee Silver at UC Berkeley and Professor Francesca Hopkins at UC Riverside, with an option for the individual to be based at either campus (Dept. of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in Berkeley, CA, or Dept.

The postdoctoral scientist will have the opportunity to develop field and controlled laboratory experiments involving real-time monitoring of dissolved oxygen, redox potential, and iron and manganese concentrations (through voltammetry).

The university of Rennes, France, is opening a two-years postdoctoral position on the characterization of transport and biogeochemical processes in the critical zone.

The Geological Society of America (GSA) Joint Section Meeting (Rocky Mountain and Cordilleran sections) will be held from May 15-17, 2018 in Flagstaff, AZ,.

The abstract deadline is February 20, 2018.  We encourage you to submit to the following theme session:
