Graduate Position in Aquatic Ecology

Posted: 
09/19/2021
Expiration Date: 
11/15/2021

Hood Lab, Aquatic Ecology Laboratory, Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University

The Hood Lab (www.hoodaquaticslab.wordpress.com) is recruiting one Master student to conduct research that examines phosphorus cycling during high flow events in agricultural watersheds. The goal of this research is to improve understanding the role rivers play in shaping nutrient exports. 

The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and honest, with strong quantitative skills, an interest in applied aquatic ecology, and a background in ecology, biogeochemistry, and/or aquatic science. I seek to maintain a productive, diverse, and team-orientated lab group and especially encourage students from under-represented groups to consider joining the lab. 

The student will be supported by teaching and research assistantships (one year of both). In EEOB, graduate assistantship includes a stipend of ~$2,400 per month, health benefits, and a tuition/fee waiver.

If interested, please email Jim Hood (hood.211@osu.edu) a single PDF containing (1) a statement of interest, (2) a CV, and (3) contact information for your three references. I will begin reviewing candidate applications immediately and ultimately invite selected applicants to apply to the department. The department's application deadline is 15 Nov 2021.
