3 Year PhD Fellowship University of Waikato New Zealand
A 3 year PhD fellowship is available within a programme funded to develop
environmental indicators derived from isotope measurements to improve
certainty in models used to manage nitrogen on farms and in river
catchments. To reverse trends of decreasing water quality caused by high
nitrogen loads from pastoral agriculture, New Zealand needs direct and
simple environmental indicators to support nitrogen (N) management on farms
and within catchments. The purpose of the PhD thesis will be to evaluate
and develop the N isotope ratio (15N/14N) of soil as an indicator of the
vulnerability of farm units to ongoing losses of N. The basis for this work
is the concept that management-related N losses, such as nitrate leaching
and denitrification, discriminate against the heavy isotope, 15N. The PhD
project will be based at the University of Waikato, and collaborate with
scientists from the National Isotope Center (GNS Science), Lincoln
University, and Environment Canada. Applicants are expected to have a
background in soil science/land management with an interest in farm
production and/or environmental impacts. The position will involve
considerable field and laboratory work. Annual stipend is $26K plus fees
paid, tax free. For further information or to apply, please email or send
letter of application, contact details for 2 referees, and CV to Dr Louis
Schipper, l.schipper (at) waikato.ac.nz, Earth and Ocean Science, Private Bag
3105, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Screening of candidates
starts Mid Oct 2008 until position filled. http://sci.waikato.ac.nz/staff/erth/schipper.
