Postdoctoral Position Available (Fall 2023): Warming Winters & Watershed Nutrient Loss
We seek a field- and lab-oriented postdoctoral fellow to join our cutting-edge, transdisciplinary research aimed at using high frequency soil and stream sensor data to identify how warm winters, with increasingly common rain, snowmelt, and rain-on-snow events, impact the timing and magnitude of watershed nutrient export and alter critical source areas and flowpaths for nitrogen and phosphorous.
The project’s goals are to test the hypotheses that winter floods have substantially different nutrient sources, sinks, and flowpaths than similar events during other seasons and that increasingly frequent winter floods alter watershed function to reduce nutrient retention.
With a somewhat flexible late summer to fall start date, this will be a 2-year position. Salary range: $56,500 to $65,000 plus excellent benefits (https://www.uvm.edu/human-resources/postdoctoral-associates-fellows-overview).
Please contact Carol Adair ([email protected]) or Andrew Schroth ([email protected]).
To apply: please send CV, names and contact information for three references, and a cover letter outlining research interests, expertise, and availability to [email protected]. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.

Meghan Taylor
Meghan is a biogeochemist whose research interests are focused on how changing climate affects biogeochemical cycling. She has worked to understand how warming in northern ecosystems affects greenhouse gas emissions and the spatial and temporal dynamics of those emissions. At UVM, she is studying the effects of winter warming events on sources and transport pathways of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon from terrestrials soils to streams and rivers in the Lake Champlain watershed.

Melissa Pastore
Melissa’s research takes a cross-scale approach to understanding the impacts of global environmental changes spanning processes happening at the leaf and microbe levels to the functioning of whole ecosystems. Currently, Melissa is exploring soil carbon dynamics across space and time in New England forests in collaboration with our lab and Dr. Aimée Classen’s lab. She is particularly interested in how changing winter climate affects carbon cycling and in the ability of microbes to adapt to more frequent soil freeze-thaw cycles. Melissa’s past research used innovative global change field experiments to investigate how changes in atmospheric CO2, climate, nitrogen deposition, and biodiversity affect plant ecophysiology and carbon and nitrogen cycling.

Karin Rand
Karin graduated from UVM in 2020 with a Biological Sciences degree which had an emphasis on ecology. Her interests are in how different scales of science interact to tackle research questions. She joined the lab to work on a collaborative project between UVM, UNH, and UMaine. The project is looking to leverage sensor technologies to acquire big data on a variety of northern forest ecosystems. This data can then help improve ecological models and inform management techniques. Karin helps to coordinate and maintain lab and field equipment and encourage collaboration between project subgroups. She enjoys being a part of a team of scientists that range from engineers to ecologists.
