Interested in developing solutions to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? We have an exciting opening for a postdoc to work with us on the first field trials of Enhanced Rock Weathering applied to agroecosystems as a carbon dioxide removal strategy. The researcher will need to conduct various geochemical and isotopic analyses on soils and soil waters to quantify CO2 removal, and work with others to integrate these data into geochemical models of weathering processes.

Dear colleagues,
