Ctrl+Click or tap to follow the link" id="LPlnk595459">http://nuweb2.neu.edu/rieslab/</a>) in the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences
at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center (MSC) seeks a graduate student/postdoctoral researcher interested in conducting federally funded research on the impact of ocean acidification on coral biomineralization to begin summer/fall 2016. Research
will include employing a multi-disciplinary approach to quantifying the impact of ocean acidification on the carbonate chemistry of corals’ calcifying fluids. This opportunity affords access to newly acquired state-of-the-art analytical equipment at the MSC,
including a laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer for trace element analysis, a powder x-ray diffractometer for mineralogical characterization, and a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectrometry and electron backscatter
diffraction for micro-imaging and elemental/mineralogical mapping of skeletal ultrastructure, and a 72-tank array for conducting ocean acidification experiments. The selected graduate student/postdoc will receive interdisciplinary training in ocean acidification
research, carbonate geochemistry, coral biomineralization, boron isotope analysis (via multi-collector ICPMS), and deployment of pH microelectrodes and pH-sensitive dyes for quantifying calcifying fluid chemistry. The graduate student/postdoc will be based
at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center (<a href="http://www.northeastern.edu/marinescience/">http://www.northeastern.edu/marinescience/</a>), located on the shores of Massachusetts Bay on the Nahant tombolo (13 miles north of downtown Boston).
The renovated MSC features a state-of-the-art flow through seawater facility, direct access to classic
<st1:place w:st="on">New England</st1:place> rocky shore intertidal study sites, an in-house SCUBA program, and small-craft research vessels. Highly motivated and creative individuals with strong writing and analytical skills are encouraged to apply. Individuals
interested in the graduate research position should apply to Northeastern’s Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences’ Ph.D. program (<a href="http://www.northeastern.edu/mes/academics/graduate-degrees/eemb/">http://www.northeastern.edu/mes/academics/graduate-degrees/eemb/</a>)
at <a href="https://neugrad.askadmissions.net/emtinterestpage.aspx?ip=account">https://neugrad.askadmissions.net/emtinterestpage.aspx?ip=account</a>. Individuals interested in the postdoctoral research position should contact Prof. Justin Ries (<a href="mailto:j.ries@neu.edu">j.ries@neu.edu</a>).
Applications are due <b>January 15, 2016</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
