<p style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher to work on projects related to soil, plant, and water responses to restoration treatments and climate. The primary project focuses on compost application on degraded, annual grass-dominated
rangelands to determine impacts on plant communities; soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties; and surface runoff and water erosion following compost application. The candidate will work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists from the Agricultural
Research Service, University of Nevada - Reno, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Additional datasets are available for publishing, including sagebrush recruitment, mulch application, post-fire grazing, and post-fire seeding. Primary duties include
analyzing existing small to large data sets, presenting at conferences, as well as writing manuscripts.
