This is a tenure-accruing position in the Soil and Water Science Department, University of Florida. The incumbent in this position will develop a nationally recognized research program on biogeochemical cycles coupled to hydrology and climate change across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems influenced by anthropogenic and natural stressors. The research focus will be on intrinsic and extrinsic factors (soil, climate, land cover, terrain, geology, hydrology, and human activities) controlling sources and sinks of elements (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur or other), biophysical feedbacks (soil/vegetation-water-atmosphere interactions) to climate dynamics, coupling of biogeochemical pathways, carbon sequestration strategies, and past and future land use response to climate change. Modeling emphasis should be placed on integrating field-scale biogeochemical processes and stressors into larger scale landscape (and/or global) models to allow scenario assessment across various ecosystem in subtropical landscapes, such as Florida. The successful candidate will engage in scholarly activities related to instruction, including teaching undergraduate and/or graduate courses in on-campus and distance education modes and advising of students.

Candidates should have an earned doctorate in Soil and Water Sciences/Geosciences/Environmental Sciences or a closely related field with emphasis in stochastic and/or mechanistic landscape modeling, and biogeochemistry. Training and post-doctoral experience in modeling biogeochemical processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales is highly desirable. Candidates should have demonstrated skills in verbal and written communication, interpersonal relationships, and procurement of extramural funding.
