The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) invites applications for a PhD researcher in Arctic coastal carbon cycling. This position will be located in El Paso, Texas.
This position is part of an interdisciplinary team, funded by the National Science Foundation, to study linkages between terrestrial and aquatic processes within Beaufort Sea lagoons at a newly established Arctic Long Term Ecological Research site (ble.lternet.edu).
Applicants should have a strong academic background, show evidence of independent work in the field and/or lab, and demonstrate a capacity to contribute to a collaborative research environment. A background in aquatic biogeochemistry would be beneficial. A degree in chemistry, biology, environmental science, or a closely related field is preferred.
The successful candidate will be expected to enroll in either the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (science.utep.edu/eeb) or Environmental Science and Engineering (science.utep.edu/ese) doctoral programs, and will participate in all aspects of the project, from field work in the Arctic to publication of findings.
Application should include a statement of interest/background and a curriculum vitae and must be submitted via email to Vanessa Lougheed at vlougheed [at] utep.edu.
