The Palmquist Lab at Marshall University is recruiting for a funded MS position focused on climate change and fire effects on coastal vegetation . The project examines vegetation dynamics across space and time, with an emphasis on how ecological processes shape plant communities at different spatial and temporal scales. The lab aims to understand how plant community patterns and processes will change under global environmental change, and how large-scale ecological insights can support landscape...

About this position

The Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain, is seeking a motivated predoctoral candidate to join the DRYLAND project and apply for an FPU or FI fellowship.

This PhD opportunity focuses on understanding how drought affects soil biogeochemical cycles and mountain water quality. The project investigates how drought mobilizes carbon, nutrients, and trace elements from high-mountain soils and how these changes propagate to streams and rivers.

The research is strongly interdisciplinary and combines field sampling, laboratory experiments, data analysis, and ecosystem modelling. Core methods include undisturbed soil core experiments, advanced stable isotope techniques (13C and 15N), high-frequency sensor networks in mountain catchments, soil and water chemistry, microbial activity measurements, greenhouse gas fluxes, and process-based modelling under climate change scenarios.

The project offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of soil microbial ecology, hydrology, and global change science. The successful candidate will contribute to a timely and important question: how droughts reshape carbon and nutrient cycling in alpine ecosystems, and what this means for water quality in mountain environments.

Eligibility highlights include a relevant MSc in Environmental Sciences, Ecology, Biology, Earth Sciences, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline; a strong academic record; interest in soil and water biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, fieldwork, and data analysis; and good English. Experience with R is considered an advantage.

Applications should be sent by email to [email protected]. The deadline is 10 November 2026 at 23:32 (Europe/Madrid). Applicants should also consult the linked job PDF and the project/careers page for any additional internal application instructions.
