Miami University’s Wagner Lab in the Department of Biology is recruiting for three fully funded positions in aquatic ecology and fisheries science in Oxford, Ohio, USA. The post highlights research on how global change affects aquatic ecosystems and freshwater fisheries, with interests spanning climate change , land use and management, invasive species, eutrophication, and persistent chemical pollutants such as PFAS . Open positions: 1) PhD Graduate Assistantship in Ecology, Evolution, and Envir...

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...
