PhD Walsh Fellowship Opportunity “Quantification of Carbon fluxes from organic and organo-mineral soils”

Deadline: 5pm, Friday, 28th January 2022

The objective of the PhD will be to measure field-scale fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and water (H2O) and to generate land-use and land management emission factors for the following site typologies: 1. Grasslands established on shallow and deep-drained nutrient poor and nutrient rich histosols and on drained organo-mineral soils and 2. Previously drained systems which have naturally or actively been re-wetted across the full nutrient and drainage gradient. The student will be registered at Trinity College Dublin. The Fellowship provides an annual student stipend of €18,000 and full EU fees and the position is tenable for 4 years.
