The Northern Gulf of Alaska Long Term Ecological Research (NGA LTER) project announces multiple openings for graduate students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks that will begin Fall, 2019. Specialities include trace metal biogeochemistry, zooplankton ecology or physiology, and high latitude physical oceanography. This project is part of the NGA LTER site. Therefore, student research… Read more »
A Ph.D. research assistantship is available (beginning summer 2019) in Ken Dunton’s lab at the University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute (https://utmsi.utexas.edu/). This position is part of an interdisciplinary program funded by the National Science Foundation to study the benthic ecology of Beaufort Sea lagoons within a newly established LTER located on Alaska’s… Read more »
The Resilient Urban Latin America (RULA) International Research Experience for Students (IRES) project offers one undergraduate and three graduate students the opportunity to conduct nine weeks of onsite research in a Latin American city that faces climate extremes. The research experience is in Hermosillo, Mexico in 2019. See the application for date selections. This research will… Read more »
Program runs June 24-June 30, 2018. Science Outside the Lab: Urban Resilience to Extremes (SOtL UREx), presented by Arizona State University’s Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes (CSPO), explores the relationships among science, policy, and societal outcomes in a place where many important decisions about these things are made—Washington, DC. During this one week workshop,… Read more »
We are seeking applicants for a Ph.D. research assistantship in the biogeochemistry of forested ecosystems. Research will focus on the fate and transport of weathering products across spatial gradients within watersheds. Project goals include characterizing dynamic solute fluxes that will help us understand how ecosystems respond to and recover from different global change drivers. The… Read more »
In recognition of the global nature and continuing success of Critical Zone (CZ) science, the U.S. NSF has provided funding to the CZ Observatory (CZO) Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) project to enable travel to CZ sites or pre-eminent laboratories overseas to further the investigation of the CZ. This announcement is an open solicitation for… Read more »
The Critical Zone Observatories (CZOs) represent a wide range of environmental and landscape settings. To enable broad understanding of the evolution, function and sustainability of the Critical Zone, the CZOs have begun to articulate scientific questions that are common and have value across the entire CZO network. Those questions are: What controls CZ properties? And… Read more »
Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistantship in Stream Fish Ecology University of Alaska Fairbanks – Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Responsibilities – Funds are expected to support a Ph.D. student to investigate the effects of fire in boreal watersheds through empirical studies focused on characterizing physical and biological mechanisms driving aquatic habitat dynamics and productivity. Specific… Read more »
The Priscu Research Group is seeking a motivated Ph.D. student to work on the aquatic systems in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica as part of the McMurdo LTER project. This six-year interdisciplinary project extends 24 years of previous data collection on the permanently ice-covered lakes of the region and will focus on biogeochemical responses to… Read more »
The Sala Lab at Arizona State University is recruiting PhD students interested on precipitation controls of net primary production. Our current research projects focus on the relationships between aboveground to belowground components of net primary productivity along a precipitation gradient. We integrate field manipulative experiments with simulation modeling and analysis of long-term data. There are… Read more »
