PhD Position in Environmental Contamination and Remediation at the University of Georgia University of Georgia in United States

PhD Assistantship at the University of Connecticut in freshwater ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry . The Helton and Lawrence lab groups are seeking a motivated PhD student to join an interdisciplinary project on how beaver-created ecosystems in the Northeastern United States influence freshwater carbon cycling . The student will work as a Graduate Assistant with funding of about $38,000/year . Research activities include field work in ponds, wetlands, and streams to quantify greenhouse gas d...

Texas A&M University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Oceanography within the Carbon Cycle and Earth Environment (CACEE) Lab in the Department of Oceanography. The project is part of the Global Ocean and Land Alkalinization (GOAL-A) initiative, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Earth Shot program and carried out with collaborators at Yale, Georgia Tech, Princeton, and Texas A&M. The research focuses on enhanced terrestrial weathering and how downstream carbon cycling re...

PhD opportunity in Climate Change Ecology and Bioacoustics at Rutgers University This opening is for a PhD student to join a field-based and quantitative project focused on how avian communities respond to extreme weather events, with effects moderated by species traits and habitat structure. The work uses data from sites in central New Jersey and across the eastern United States. The project combines ecology , bioacoustics , AI , point-count surveys, and bird identification, with potential invo...

Two funded Ph.D. positions are open at Boston University in the Templer Lab and Bhatnagar Lab (Microbes@BU) as part of an NSF-funded study within the long-running Hubbard Brook Nitrogen Oligotrophication (HBNO) project. The research sits at the intersection of forest ecology , biogeochemistry , plant-microbe interactions , soil science , and microbiology . The project asks whether shifts in plant carbon allocation help offset declining nitrogen and phosphorus availability in northern hardwood fo...

Virginia Tech’s Agroecosystem Modeling Lab is recruiting a highly motivated PhD student for a fully funded USDA-NIFA research project starting in Spring 2027. The project focuses on agricultural diversification practices, especially cover cropping and crop rotation, and their effects on crop yield, soil health, and soil biogeochemical cycling. Research methods include meta-analysis, process-based agroecosystem modeling (such as DSSAT, APSIM, and DNDC), artificial intelligence, and large geospati...
