[ES_JOBS_NET] Ph.D. or M.S. student positions in biogeochemistry at KU

[Amy Burgin]

The Burgin Lab at the University of Kansas is seeking applicants for M.S.
and Ph.D. students focused on exploring the intersection between aquatic
biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. More details on current lab projects
can be found at the lab website: https://burginlab.wordpress.com/
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.



Students will apply through KU’s Department of Ecology & Evolutionary
Biology (https://eeb.ku.edu/prospective-students). Students will be funded
on a combination of grants and teaching support; EEB provides 10 semesters
(Ph.D.) or 4 semesters (M.S.) of support on admission to the department (
https://eeb.ku.edu/financial-support). Tuition and travel support are also
available to admitted EEB students. Answers to frequently asked questions
about support, requirements and life in Lawrence can be found here:
https://eeb.ku.edu/faq.  Lawrence consistently ranks as a top college town
due to the combination of great arts and entertainment options, eclectic
small-town shopping and excellent dining.

C.V. and a brief note on your interests in getting a graduate degree (more
