A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at PSU in the area of nutrient cycling in agroecosystems. The candidate will mainly work with existing data to assess nitrogen availability from cover crops and soil organic matter. 

Strong quantitative skills are required to apply statistical and perhaps simulation models to predict nitrogen dynamics in row crop systems of the mid-Atlantic. Penn State has a large and vibrant cropping systems research program with an exceptional record of postdoctoral training and placement in research positions throughout the country. The successful applicant will work closely with Dr. Jason Kaye and Dr. Charles White, but will be encouraged to develop collaborations in sustainable agriculture across PSU. 

This is a one-year position, with potential for renewal to work in the area of nutrient cycling on other grants. Interested individuals are invited to apply at https://psu.job s/job/88219. For further information, contact Dr. Jason Kaye ([log in to unmask]  ; 814-863-1614). Applications will be reviewed beginning July 1, 2019, and the search will continue until the position is filled. Desired start date is August 1, 2019.
