The Fridley and Tharayil Labs at Clemson University (South Carolina, USA) are seeking applications for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in ecosystem, soil and/or microbial ecology to join a project involving long-term soil organic carbon dynamics in Clemson Experimental Forest (CEF). The successful applicant will characterize how physiological traits of dominant tree species influence the amount, quality, and stability of soil organic matter, involving field sampling and lab analysis of soil cores across CEF permanent plots. Activities include field core extraction, physical and chemical soil characterization, analysis of molecular-level organic composition, and field assays such as litter decomposition. Funding is available for two years with annual reappointment. For more details and application instructions, see https://apply.interfolio.com/164158. Start date is flexible and applications submitted by 4/1/25 will receive full consideration.

Inquiries can be directed to Jason Fridley (fridley@clemson.edu).
