Freshwater Science Jobs & Opportunities

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the St. George campus of the University of Toronto invites applications for a Departmental Postdoctoral Fellowship. We encourage applications from highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with broad interests in ecology and evolutionary biology.

The Mitchell Aquatic Ecology Lab at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is seeking a motivated Master’s student to join a research project focused on the distribution, habitat use, and ecological modeling of data-deficient Texas crayfish species. This student will play a key role in extensive field surveys across South Texas and assist in the development of ecological niche models to assess habitat suitability. The research will contribute directly to conservation planning for six focal crayfish species. The position is fully funded, including a stipend, tuition waiver, and research support.

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) at the University of New Mexico invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Hydrology with a start date as early as January 2026. We seek candidates with research expertise in any area of hydrology, including but not limited to hydrogeology, water quality, surface water/ground water interactions, or hydroclimatology. This position offers an exciting opportunity to advance hydrological research with a focus on the unique water and climate dynamics of arid and semi-arid regions.

The Habitat Restoration and Management Program Manager is responsible for the planning, implementation, and coordination of science-based habitat management and restoration projects on lands managed by MassWildlife throughout the Commonwealth.  The Program Manager leads a multidisciplinary team of Habitat Biologists, Restoration Ecologists, and Foresters to restore and manage habitat to benefit wildlife, including species of greatest conservation need identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan, while maintaining or enhancing opportunities for hunting, fishing, and other wildlife-based recreation.
