We are seeking a PhD student in aquatic ecosystem ecology at the University of Connecticut, Department of Natural Resources & the Environment beginning January, May, or August 2025. The successful candidate’s research will focus on carbon cycling, nutrient dynamics, and/or greenhouse gas dynamics of aquatic ecosystems, with a focus on ecosystem interfaces (groundwater-surface water, lotic-lentic).
The primary function of this position is to serve as field manager for the MU Limnology Lab (https://sites.google.com/view/limnologylab-northmizzou). The field manager will work on multiple projects funded by NSF, NASA, EPA, and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). This position is multi-faceted, involving year-round field research conducted with motor boats, buoy and monitoring equipment installation and maintenance, water chemistry analysis, data management, and training and supervising of hourly employees working in the lab and field.
The Department of Liberal Arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) invites applications for tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in the biological sciences, beginning in August of 2025. Salary is competitive with peer institutions and commensurate with quality of academic research, extent of teaching experience, other relevant professional practices and current professional standing.
The Center for the Management, Utilization and Protection of Water Resources (the Water Center) at Tennessee Tech University is seeking a post-doctoral researcher with expertise in the field of microplastics work. This person will lead microplastics research investigating the occurrence, distribution and fate of microplastics in engineered and natural fresh water systems.
Drs. Jim Hood and Stu Ludsin at The Ohio State University are seeking a postdoc to work on a Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) project focused on developing quantitative and qualitative models of the Lake Erie ecosystem to advance ecosystem-based fisheries management of Lake Whitefish, Walleye, and Yellow Perch. Specifically, this project focuses on developing and evaluating conceptual models describing how the recruitment of the focal species is influenced by climate change, nutrient management, fishery harvests, and invasive species.
The graduate assistant will work on the Northeastern RSGCN stonefly assessment project and conduct MS thesis research with the Lake Champlain Research Institute at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. This position covers a stipend for academic year and summer plus in state NY tuition waiver. The research will focus on the stonefly systematics and conservation in the Northeastern US. Duties for this position will include some field work, sorting, data entry, identification and preparation of specimens for morphological and/or genetic study.
Dr. Sally Entrekin (Entomology, Virginia Tech) is seeking applications for a paid graduate student position as part of a collaborative project on the environmental safety of the aerial mating disruption treatments against spongy moth, an invasive forest pest in the eastern U.S.
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in aquatic ecology. This position is part of University of Wyoming NSF EPSCoR grant titled “WyACT: Wyoming Anticipating Climate Transitions”. The successful applicant will use ecological and physical models to predict responses to climate change induced reductions in water availability. The postdoc will work to advance our understanding of how climate change affects aquatic ecosystems. The postdoc will develop their own research activities related to lake modeling, food webs, or flow-ecology relationships in the Upper Snake River, Green River, or Wind River watersheds, Wyoming.
