A postdoctoral position (2.5 years) responsible for measuring nitrous oxide fluxes from grazed pastures systems. We will be purchasing equipment that allows eddy covariance measurements of nitrous oxide and the successful candidate will help install and maintain the equipment, collect data, interpret and write papers in this cutting edge field of research.  You will be part of a team measuring carbon dioxide and water fluxes from pastures and wetlands. Our goal is to find management practices that decrease our greenhouse gas burden on the atmosphere while maintaining production. 

Further details about the team and our research can be found on these webpages and the position description can be viewed at the University of Waikato vacancy page:  http://www.waikato.ac.nz/hrm/vacancies/ where applications should also be made. 

Enquiries of an academic nature should be directed to Professor Louis Schipper, email: schipper@waikato.ac.nz. Applications close 12th March.
