Aquatic Ecosystem Ecology University of New Hampshire
The Department of Natural Resources and
Environment and the Institute for the Study of
Earth, Ocean and Space at the University of New
Hampshire seek a highly motivated graduate
student (Masters or PhD level) to conduct
research on how various human activities impact
water quality and how aquatic ecosystems help
maintain water quality. We seek individuals
interested in understanding: 1) how watersheds
influence coastal estuaries, 2) the variability
of water quality in streams and rivers over space
and time, 3) controls of water quality during
storm fluxes using novel in situ aquatic nutrient
sensors, 4) biogeochemical dynamics influencing
water quality. Must be self-motivated,
curious, quantitatively oriented, and a good writer.
Qualifications: The candidate must have at least
a B.S. (M.S. if entering the PhD program) in
environmental science, ecology, aquatic science,
hydrology, geography or closely related
field. The preferred candidate will have
experience with GIS and a strong quantitative background.
Start Date: Preferably January 2016, but start date is negotiable.
To Apply: Send a letter of interest including
statement of goals and research interests; a
resume or curriculum vitae; and contact
information for three references (electronic
versions of all materials are required) to the
e-mail below. Please attach all materials as
word documents or PDFs with the candidates name
included in the file name. Review of potential
applicants will begin immediately and prospective
candidates encouraged to apply to the appropriate
UNH graduate programs (for a Masters of Science:
