Stockholm University announces a tenured position (80% research and 20% teaching).
Deadline for application: January 31, 2012.

Stockholm University announces a position at the Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM) as Universitetslektor in Climate-related biogeochemical modeling.

The position is tenured and will during the first five years comprise 80% research and 20% teaching.

The research focus is modeling of the terrestrial biogeochemical system and its interactions with climate, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, particularly in arctic permafrost systems.

The position is part of the Bolin Centre's capacity building within the field of numerical climate modeling. The Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research at Stockholm University (www.bbcc.su.se) is dedicated to fundamental research on key features of the climate system. The Bolin Centre brings together climate research at the departments of Meteorology, Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Geological Sciences, and Applied Environmental Science. The research program comprises processes and dynamics governing the natural evolution and variability of our climate as well as anthropogenic influences on the climate system.

The Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM) at Stockholm University (www.itm.su.se) has a strong research focus (>100 peer-reviewed articles per year) spanning from environmental chemistry and toxicology to atmospheric science and biogeochemistry. The units for atmospheric science and biogeochemistry emphasize the study of aerosols and carbon-climate links at high latitudes. Permafrost carbon dynamics are a particular focus of ITM scientists collaborating with partners throughout the research environment.
