Field and Laboratory Research Assistant On Plant
hace 2 semanas
he Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), offers a 6-month full-time research assistant position.
Plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is the ratio of biomass gained, per unit of water lost. This parameter intimately describes the link between the carbon and the water cycles at the global scales. Thus, precise estimates of WUE are crucial to predict vegetation-climatic feedbacks in a global change scenario. The project PHLISCO, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, aims at developing a novel approach to determine WUE at the whole-tree scale using plant PHLoem carbon ISotopic COmposition.
Among other tasks, the research assistant will:
Perform fieldwork activities, which could require handling of potentially hazardous equipment and in harsh environmental conditions (e.g. cold or hot temperatures, under intense sun exposure, on irregular terrains and under low light). These activities include, but are not limited to:
Collection of plant samples at heights.
Measurements of gas-exchange in plants at heights.
Handling of heavy-duty manual tools (shovels, hammers, spanners and others).
Driving vehicles, including trucks with elevated platforms.
Use of elevated platforms.
Collection of morphological measurements.
Handling of heavy (maximum of 8 kg) equipment in the field.
In-situ processing of plant samples using sand paper, knifes and scalpels, among others.
Use of pressurized equipment (Scholander pressure chamber).
Perform multi-day trips to collect plant samples along geographical gradients.
Perform laboratory tasks, which could require handling of potentially hazardous chemical substances as well manipulation of laboratory equipment. These tasks include, but are not limited to:
Processing of plant samples, including (but not restricted to) the use of freeze-dryers, ball mills, centrifuges, desiccation ovens, scalpels and razor blades.
Handling biological enzymes, organic and inorganic solvents.
Elemental analyses of soil and plant samples for determination of nutrient contents.
Use of precision balances.
Handling of liquid nitrogen and ultra-freezers.
Grinding plant material using a ball mill.
Preparation of samples for microscopy analyses.
Analyses of sugar contents in plant samples.
Handling inventories, storage and organization of field and laboratory material.
Contribute to the organization and cleanness of the laboratory spaces used, both at the host institution, as well as at the laboratories of other entities associated to the project.
Be responsible for the curation and archiving of plant samples.
Communicate with the administration team at BC3 to streamline the purchase of necessary material to perform laboratory and field activities.
Coordinate the organization of field and laboratory work with other participants involved in the activities.
Coordinate with external users to avoid overbooking of sensible equipment.
