I
am seeking a Postdoctoral fellow or PhD student for a new project aimed at
linking an improved understanding of lake ecology to drinking water treatment
processes.  
 
The
successful applicant will work with a team of researchers across two
universities, partnered with a water utility, and provincial government
researchers.  The student will work with
a unique long-term database, and sensor-based technology to identify predictors
of bloom risk, and periods of high algal productivity affecting drinking water
treatment processes.  The successful
applicant will have a solid foundation in limnology, strong quantitative
skills, and experience with, or ability to learn skills necessary for working
with sensor-based technology.  Research
will involve field and laboratory work, and requires someone who enjoys working
within a team setting.  A start date of January 2014 is preferred, although later dates may be
