We are offering multiple assistantships in urban stream research at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. Students will join an interdisciplinary research team (see below) investigating the effects of restoration practices on the ecology, biogeochemistry, and hydrology of headwater streams from the reach to the watershed scale. Applicants with strengths in hydrologic modeling, watershed biogeochemistry, groundwater-surface water interactions, and benthic invertebrate diversity and production are encouraged to apply. Students will have flexibility to develop independent research questions within the context of several projects that address interactions among hydrology, biogeochemistry and ecology in urban aquatic ecosystems.
Applicants should have a degree in biology, earth sciences, ecology, environmental engineering, or related field. Please submit a statement of career goals and research interests, full CV, unofficial transcripts and GRE scores, and contact information for three potential references to: Dr. Sara McMillan ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ); Dr. Sandra Clinton ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ); and/or Dr. Anne Jefferson ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until suitable candidates are found. The anticipated start date is negotiable however preference will be given to those qualified applicants who could start during summer 2011.
