About this position

Jennifer Beseres Pollack is recruiting a funded Ph.D. student to join the Coastal Conservation and Restoration Lab at the Harte Research Institute, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

The project is a newly funded, multi-year study of oyster reef ecology, restoration, and management in Texas. The student will examine natural, restored, and actively managed oyster reefs, with research on oyster populations, reef structure, ecological function, and habitat support. There is also room to develop independent dissertation questions within the broader project.

This is a field-intensive Ph.D. opportunity in coastal science. Planned methods include quantitative diver surveys and dredge sampling, with field research in Texas bays. Applicants should have strong research experience and be curious, persistent, self-directed, and enthusiastic about field-based marine ecology and restoration.

An M.S. is preferred, but applicants with substantial research experience may also be considered. SCUBA or scientific diving experience is a plus, though not required.

Funding includes a funded GRA, tuition, required fees, and health insurance. Full consideration is by December 15, 2026, and the intended start term is Summer/Fall 2027.

Interested students should read the attached PDF for full details and application instructions.
