Freshwater Science Jobs & Opportunities

The Department of Biological Sciences at Kent State University seeks a post-doctoral research associate to join a broad-scale data-intensive wetland research project. Come work in a collaborative environment and contribute to data synthesis, new quantitative methods, and solutions-oriented environmental science. The project is funded by the Great Lakes Research Initiative and the successful candidate will work with a treasure trove of data and people from the H2Ohio Wetland Monitoring Program to assess the impact of dozens of wetland restoration projects on nutrient biogeochemistry and pollution.

A postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly qualified individual to join the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR: https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/). The successful candidate will work with a team of atmospheric and hydrodynamic modelers at CIGLR and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) to improve our ability to make climate projections for all aspects of the dynamical system in the Great Lakes Region.

United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Pacific Ecological Systems Division in Corvallis, Oregon, has a new post graduate position available through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). Post-masters with a strong research background and post-doctorates are preferred. This effort will explore research questions using national plant datasets collected as part of the National Wetland Condition Assessment (NWCA), which is the nation’s largest and most comprehensive survey of wetland condition and characteristics across the conterminous US.

EDR is seeking an experienced, versatile, team-oriented Field Ecologist III to join our Environmental Services group in the Mid-West or Mid-Atlantic. A qualified Field Ecologist will have at least 7 years of experience in wetland/stream delineations and other natural resource-based fieldwork such as wildlife surveys, habitat surveys, rare plant surveys, invasive species surveys, and general ecological surveys.
