[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD opportunity, Elliott Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Lab, University of Pittsburgh

[Elliott, Emily M]

A PhD position is available beginning September 2016  in the Elliott Stable  Isotope Biogeochemistry Laboratory 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 also include hydrologic modeling and GIS experience, quantitative analysis and strong writing skills. Interested  candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Elliott directly  (eelliott at pitt.edu<https://webmail.pitt.edu/webmail/src/compose.php?send_to=eelliott%40pitt.edu> ) via an email that briefly describes research  experiences and interests.  Applications received prior to January 15, 2016 will receive fullest  consideration.
