Postdoctoral Researcher sought to conduct applied, ecologically-focused research in a teamoriented
soil fertility lab. Research will focus on developing affordable, soil-testing methods of
active organic matter for growers and linking these methods to soil ecosystem function. Methods
will be calibrated with nutrient recommendations for grain cropping systems in Ohio. Related but
independent lines of research will be encouraged.
