Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant-Soil Interactions and Coastal Biogeochemistry Oak Ridge National Laboratory in United States

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...

Research themes include above-ground biomarkers of below-ground contaminant distributions and flows , environmental remediation using data science and artificial intelli...

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 b...

PhD opportunity at the University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), in the Ferraro Lab, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. The project focuses on animal-ecosystem interactions , with research on how animal movement, behavior, and population dynamics influence the transport and cycling of elements across landscapes. The lab’s ongoing interests include caribou ecology, herbivore rewilding ethics, deer effects in Michigan, and a cross-species study of animal-derived mat...

PhD Assistantship at Louisiana State University in the Wetland and Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab for research on phosphorus dynamics and harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal river and estuary systems in southeastern Louisiana. The project examines how land-use change , internal sediment loading , and seasonal hydrology influence phosphorus availability and water-quality impairment in the Lake Pontchartrain Estuary and its tributaries. The student will lead field-based research including river tr...
