Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in stream and watershed biogeochemistry (full posting and application portal). The postdoc will collaborate on an NSF-funded project exploring the role of aquatic bryophytes in structuring biogeochemical cycles in headwater streams and stream networks. This project uses modeling, regional surveys, and experiments at whole-ecosystem and smaller scales, and includes a team of researchers from the Cary Institute, Duke University, and the University of Washington. The project is closely integrated with long-term studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, and there are numerous opportunities for the postdoc to engage with those long-term data and the Hubbard Brook LTER research community to explore other questions in stream and watershed biogeochemistry and ecology.
Funding for the position is secured for 2 years. The initial appointment is for one year, with possibility of extension based on performance. The anticipated start date is on or around 1 September 2026. The position is based at the Cary Institute in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York, a short way north of New York City. The Cary Institute is home to a diverse, vibrant, and supportive community of colleagues. This is a full time, exempt, fully benefitted position. The starting salary is $74,263 and will be commensurate on experience.
