Ph.D. or M.S. research assistantships are available (beginning as soon as Summer 2025) in Arctic riverine and coastal ecology at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). These positions are part of interdisciplinary teams funded by the National Science Foundation to study linkages between terrestrial and aquatic processes within sites of the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems LTER (ble.lternet.edu). Students will study drivers of primary production and carbon cycling within Arctic lagoons and rivers. Background knowledge in ecosystem ecology, aquatic biogeochemistry, or geographic information systems, with a degree in biology, environmental science, or a closely related field, preferred. Students will participate in all aspects of the project, from field work in the Arctic to publication of findings. Applicants are expected to have a strong academic background, show evidence of independent work in both the field and lab, cold weather experience, experience using R and/or GIS, and demonstrate a capacity to contribute to a collaborative research environment. For more information, please email a statement of interest/background and a copy of your CV to Dr. Vanessa Lougheed ([email protected]).
