About the Position
Our research group is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Soil and Environment. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a project focused on improving precision and accuracy in forest soil carbon stock estimates. Your role will involve fieldwork, laboratory analysis, data evaluation, and academic publishing.

Your Profile
We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in a relevant topic based on research in soil science that has included analysis of soil carbon and determination of soil carbon stocks. Experience in geostatistical methods and/or spectral analysis of soil samples is an asset. You should have a demonstrated ability to carry out independent research and author scientific publications. Postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, so we primarily seek candidates with a doctoral degree no more than three years old. Excellent English oral and written skills are expected, as well as a driving license equivalent to category B in the Swedish system.

About Us
The Department of Soil and Environment is a leading soil research institution, both nationally and internationally. Our research focuses on fundamental soil properties and processes, as well as how soil functions are affected by changes in environmental conditions, including climate change. Through research, environmental analysis, and education, we contribute knowledge about future sustainable land use and develop new solutions as a basis for decision-making in agriculture, forestry, and the urban environment. Our working environment is international, and we have around 100 employees.

Our Research
We conduct research in seven subject groups with a focus on Soil Biology, Soil Nutrient Cycling, Soil Chemistry, Agricultural Water Management, Soil and Environmental Physics, Soil Mechanics, and Soil Management, as well as the Biogeochemistry of Forest Soils. We have important research infrastructure in the form of soil chemistry and soil physics laboratories, an X-ray scanner, long-term field experiments, a lysimeter facility, and field research stations at Lanna and Lövsta.
