PhD Opportunity in Ecology and Biogeochemistry of Littoral Zones in Eastern Québec Lakes Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada

PhD opportunity in ecology and biogeochemistry focused on the littoral zones of eastern Québec lakes.

The project is based at the Université du Québec à Rimouski with Morgan Botrel, Professeure en biogéochimie aquatique. The successful candidate will lead three field seasons in lakes across Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, and Anticosti, with a research theme centered on surveying submerged aquatic vegetation. The candidate will also have room to develop their own research questions within the broader project.

This is a strong fit for students interested in lake ecology, aquatic ecosystems, biogeochemical cycling, and field-based environmental research. The post indicates that interested candidates should contact the supervisor promptly in order to apply for graduate scholarships in the fall, with a preferred start date of January 2027.

Application information is available through the linked post. Prospective applicants should reach out early to discuss fit and scholarship timing.
