lab projects can be found at the lab website: <a href="https://burginlab.wordpress.com/">https://burginlab.wordpress.com/</a> Successful applicants will describe previous
research experience in aquatic or ecosystem ecology, field work or lab
chemistry analyses. Applicants should also demonstrate previous writing and
data analysis experience. Experience with managing undergraduate researchers,
large datasets (e.g., generated by sensors) or working as part of a
collaborative team are a plus. <span></span></p>
