the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Geology and Environmental Science, as part of a 5-year, NSF-funded study of urban nitrogen dynamics. We are seeking new graduate student(s) to join our dynamic and interdisciplinary research group dedicated to
using stable isotope geochemistry to examine nitrogen dynamics in atmospheric-ecosystem-hydrologic systems. Specific projects include examination of reactive nitrogen dynamics in urban watersheds. modeling riverine nitrogen fluxes, and tracking sources
of nitrogen eutrophication to surface waters. Candidates from diverse disciplinary backgrounds are welcome, but an M.S. is required; only substantial research and prior publication experience will be considered in lieu of an M.S. degree. Desired qualifications
also include hydrologic modeling and GIS experience, quantitative analysis and strong writing skills.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Elliott directly (</span><a href="https://webmail.pitt.edu/webmail/src/compose.php?send_to=eelliott%40pitt.edu"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#66CCCC;background:white">eelliott@pitt.edu</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3F3F3F;background:white"> </span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3F3F3F;background:white">)
