Graduate Research Assistantship in Biogeochemistry We are seeking a highly motivated Graduate Research Assistant (MS or PhD) on a newly-funded USDA project investigating the transport and fate of particulate carbon and nitrogen in streams during and following tropical storms. The student will use a combination of physical, chemical, isotopic, and molecular techniques to characterize the sources, composition, bioavailability, and transformations of particulate matter in the fluvial network. The study will be conducted across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Preference will be given to PhD applicants with a strong background in hydrology and biogeochemistry and interest/experience in stream and molecular ecology. The position starts in May of 2015. Students will be accepted through the interdisciplinary Water Science and Policy Graduate program (http://www.udel.edu/watersciencepolicy/) at the University of Delaware. Please send a, CV, transcripts, GRE scores, statement detailing research interests, date of availability, and names of three references electronically to Dr. Shreeram Inamdar, email: [email protected]; Phone 302-831-8877, website: http://udel.edu/~inamdar/
