<p><span style="background: white; color: rgb(63, 63, 63); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A <strong>PhD position</strong> is available beginning September 2016 <strong> </strong>in the <strong>Elliott Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Laboratory </strong>at
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
(but not required) include hydrologic modeling and GIS experience, quantitative analysis, experience in the measurement or application of stable isotope data, and strong writing skills. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Elliott directly
(<a href="https://webmail.pitt.edu/webmail/src/compose.php?send_to=eelliott%40pitt.edu">eelliott@pitt.edu</a> ) via an email that briefly describes research experiences and interests. Applications are due January 15, 2016. More information about the Elliott
group can be found here: <a href="http://www.pitt.edu/~eelliott/">http://www.pitt.edu/~eelliott/</a> and application information can be found here: <a href="http://www.geology.pitt.edu/application">http://www.geology.pitt.edu/application.</a> Pittsburgh
is routinely ranked one of America’s most livable cities and has enjoyed a “green renaissance” fueled by the convergence of Universities and technology start-up companies. Coupled with the low- cost of living, a lively arts and restaurant scene, and a strong
sports presence, it is a fun and friendly place to live</span></p>
