We study if the recently found drying trend in boreal peatlands is a widespread phenomenon and also detectable in the GHG dynamics, and aim to identify underlying mechanisms behind the ongoing change. We use a long-term experimental site in Finland, and a suite of EC sites in Finland, Sweden, and Canada with the longest records of pristine boreal peatland GHG fluxes. The successful candidates will be supported by international research team from Finland, Sweden, France, Canada, and US with a strong expertise regarding plant and ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, micrometeorology and modelling of biological processes.
Postdoctoral researcher/Project researcher will focus on the potential change in environmental responses of GHG dynamics in the long-term experimental drainage site in Finland and in a suite of EC sites in Finland, Sweden, and Canada. The work will consist of analyzing existing data. In addition to processing and analysis of chamber and EC data and scientific writing, work also includes some student supervision.
A person to be appointed as a postdoctoral researcher/project researcher is required to have completed doctoral degree in relevant field. If the employee has been awarded his or her doctoral degree less than five years ago, the post will be one of a Postdoctoral Researcher.
