[ES_JOBS_NET] Ph.D. Assistantship in Arctic Estuarine Food Web Ecology

[Christina Bonsell]

A Ph.D. research assistantship is available (fall 2019/spring 2020) in
Katrin Iken’s lab at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, College of
Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (UAF, CFOS) (https://www.uaf.edu/cfos/). This
position is part of a new Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program
funded by the National Science Foundation to study the food web ecology of
Beaufort Sea lagoons. The student’s research would focus on discerning how
variable carbon inputs (terrestrial, marine phytoplankton, sea ice) are
utilized in the lagoon systems over the course of the year from frozen to
break-up to open water. We seek applicants with a background in trophic
ecology, especially with lab and data analysis skills in stable isotope
analysis, compound-specific (amino acid) stable isotope analysis, and/or
fatty acid analysis. The student is expected to participate in field work
in the Arctic as well as develop a strong research thesis project.
Applicants should have a M.S. degree in a marine or environmental science
field, a strong academic background, show evidence of independent work in
the field and/or lab, and demonstrate a capacity to contribute to a
collaborative research environment. For more information, please email a
statement of interest/background and a copy of your CV to Katrin Iken (
kbiken at alaska.edu).
