[ES_JOBS_NET] Two Ph.D. positions at NCSU

[Owen Duckworth]

We are currently seeking two exceptional Ph.D. students to work on
NSF-funded projects in the Soil Science Department at NCSU starting in
January or August 2014.

In one position, we seek an exceptional Ph.D. student to conduct
independent research on arsenic contamination of groundwater in Southern
Asia. Research will investigate how the quantities and chemical
reactivities of complex mineral assemblages impact arsenic concentrations
in well water. Specific tasks will include field sampling in Cambodia,
laboratory experimentation, and spectroscopic analysis. The student will
work under the supervision of Drs. Matt Polizzotto and Owen Duckworth, and
opportunities exist to interact closely with external collaborators. For
further details about this position, applicants are encouraged to contact
Matt Polizzotto (*matt_polizzotto at ncsu.edu; *
http://polizzotto.soil.ncsu.edu/).

In the other position, we seek an exceptional Ph.D. student to conduct
NSF-funded independent research probing the formation of biogenic oxides in
natural waters by a combination of laboratory and field approaches.
Activities include conducting traditional geochemical and microbiological
experiments, as well as using cutting-edge molecular biology and
spectroscopic techniques to better understand the mechanisms of
biogeochemical processes. A significant outreach component will allow for
interaction with high school students, teachers, and the public.* *For
further details about this position, applicants are encouraged to
