A PhD POSITION IN STREAM ECOLOGY
I invite applications for a PhD position in my lab at the University of Texas at Arlington (http://www.uta.edu/biology/passy/lab/home.html). The successful applicant is expected to have expertise in algal or microbial ecology, a good statistical background, and excellent communication skills.
