Starting date: August 1, 2011 or as agreed upon

Description of the subject area: Applications are encouraged for a 4-year PhD-student position focusing on the effects of changing snow- and ice cover conditions in the arctic and boreal region on carbon dioxide emissions from freshwaters. The PhD-project is part of the Centre of Excellence ”Cryosphere-atmosphere interactions in a changing arctic climate (CRAICC; http://www.atm.helsinki.fi/craicc/), financed by NordForsk. Cooperation with Helsinki University and the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) is part of the project which includes field work for the gathering of own data as well as analyses of already existing large datasets.
