PhD Research Assistantship in Environmental and Ecosystem Science, Rare Earth Elements Biogeochemistry and Plant Physiology University of Kentucky in United States

PhD and MS opportunities are available in the Ecohydrology Lab at Kansas State University for students interested in grassland ecohydrology , hydrology , ecology , plant ecophysiology , soil science , and related environmental research. The lab studies interactions between ecological and hydrological processes in grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, with a focus on how vegetation influences water movement and critical zone function under changing climate and land-use conditions. Research can be...

PhD opportunity at Mississippi State University in the Weed Science Research Group for a project on the environmental fate of herbicides in agricultural systems. The research will examine how herbicides persist, move, and transform under field and controlled conditions, with emphasis on herbicide sorption/desorption in soils , degradation kinetics (biotic and abiotic), and transport processes such as leaching, volatility, and runoff. The position includes both laboratory and field-scale experime...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant-Soil Interactions and Coastal Biogeochemistry within the Environmental Sciences Division. The project is part of the interdisciplinary Exploring Gulf Region Ecosystem Transitions (EGRET) collaboration, which studies disturbance-driven ecosystem transitions across the U.S. Gulf Coast using field observations, laboratory mesocosms, AI/ML, remote sensing, process-based modeling, and advanced analytical tec...

Postdoctoral Fellow in Solitary Bee Pesticide Toxicity and Risk Assessment at Utah State University This postdoctoral opportunity is based at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, with collaboration from the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Washington State University. The project focuses on toxicology, entomology, environmental chemistry, pesticide risk assessment, and bee health , especially in relation to solitary bees. The postdoc will work with Dr. Kimberly Hageman (Utah State Univers...

PhD opportunity in Environmental Soil Physics at Penn State in the Environmental Soil Physics Lab led by Yingxue Yu . The research focuses on how emerging contaminants move and interact in soil-water systems , with an emphasis on their fate and transport . The work combines experimental and modeling approaches, making it a strong fit for students interested in soil processes, contaminant transport, vadose zone hydrology, and environmental systems. Students with backgrounds in soil science , hydr...
