PhD opportunity: Aquatic contaminant biogeochemistryInstitution: New York UniversityDescriptionThe Ruyle lab at New York University is recruiting a PhD student beginning Fall 2025 in aquatic contaminant biogeochemistry. The PhD student will have flexibility in their research and will work design their own projects within the lab’s general interests. Potential research projects could include: fate and transport of PFAS discharged from major point sources, chemical transformations of pharmaceuticals in the environment, and impacts of climate change on subsurface contaminant dynamics. Initial research will likely have a strong emphasis on laboratory analyses using tools in the lab such as liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Research can also involve field work, experiments, and modeling. The student will be expected to design and execute research projects, interpret data, and communicate results in written form for their dissertation and peer-reviewed publications. Interested candidates should reach out at [email protected] to arrange a conversation prior to NYU’s application deadline on December 1, 2024. In your email, please include your CV and a brief summary of your interests related to the lab’s research. Minimum qualifications: Students can come from diverse academic backgrounds but will be expected be able to meet the coursework requirements for the degreeNYU requires GRE scores for program admissionA reasonable background in chemistry and math Desired qualifications: Previous research experience conducting laboratory analysesPassion for science aimed to protect public healthExperience in Python or similar languages…more
