About this position
UBC’s new Olden Lab is recruiting an inaugural cohort of 6–8 MSc/PhD students to help build a freshwater science program from the ground up at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
Research themes include hydropower, eDNA biosurveillance, invasive species, species-at-risk recovery, water security in the age of AI data centers, iEcology, machine learning, and conservation tech.
Supervision is by Dr. Julian Olden (Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair in Freshwater Ecosystem Sustainability). The post emphasizes that this is not an established lab, but a chance to help define what it becomes.
Openings are for MSc and PhD students, with a rolling deadline until Jan 15, 2027 and a UBC deadline of Feb 1, 2027. The post does not specify funding details, so applicants should check the linked Olden Lab call for applications for full eligibility and application instructions.
