A 4-year PhD fellowship is currently available to work with Dr. Matt Cohen in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation at the University of Florida (Gainesville FL). The focus of the work will be on nutrient cycling, autotroph community structure, and ecosystem metabolism in Florida's iconic spring-fed rivers, with a theoretical emphasis on eutrophication dynamics in lotic systems. The position is available immediately (Fall 2013) but may be deferred to Spring 2014 and is open to motivated students with a background in ecosystems ecology, biogeochemistry, stream ecology and related fields. A Master's degree and strong quantitative skills are desirable; strong written and verbal communication skills are expected. Interested students should send an email describing their interests, a current CV, GPA and GRE scores, and names of 3 references to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
