Academic background
I received my PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983. I began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ecosystems Center of Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Massachusetts) in 1983. I worked as a Research Scientist at the MBL until June 2002 when I left to spend a year as co-Director of the National Science Foundation's Ecosystem Studies Program. I joined the Univeristy of Michigan as Director of the Biological Station in June 2003 and as Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in September 2003. I also served as Panel Manager for the USDA Ecosystems Program in 1992 and was a Fulbright Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of Water Research (Oslo) and the Norwegian Institute of Forest Research (Aas) in 1996-97.

Reappointment announced
The Dean and the Executive Committee of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts approved the reappointment of Professor Knute Nadelhoffer as director of the Biological Station.
Nadelhoffer’s five-year term is effective July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2013. He joined EEB in 2003 as professor and director of the BioStation. He specializes in ecological impacts of anthropogenic nitrogen deposition and the interaction of the nitrogen and carbon cycles. This area of fundamental societal concern is important in understanding the functioning of local ecosystems and the global biosphere.
