[ES_JOBS_NET] 1-2 Ph.D. or M.S. positions in Freshwater Ecosystem Ecology at University of Nevada Reno

[Joanna Blaszczak]

The Blaszczak Watershed Biogeochemistry and Stream Ecosystem Ecology Lab at
the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is hiring 1-2 graduate students (Ph.D.
or M.S.) to join the lab beginning the fall of 2020!

The Blaszczak Lab studies the transport and transformation of nutrients,
carbon, and contaminants through watersheds and the streams that drain
them. We use a combination of field, laboratory, and modeling approaches to
understand controls on water quality, ecosystem function, and greenhouse
gas emissions from aquatic ecosystems draining human-dominated landscapes.

Potential research topics include (but are not limited to):
(1) Effects of freshwater salinization  on the capacity of rivers to retain
and transform nutrients, carbon, and contaminants
(2) Impacts of watershed urbanization on aquatic ecosystem function
(specifically in drylands)
(3) Spatial and temporal dynamics of microplastic delivery to freshwater
ecosystems
(4) Development of process-based models of aquatic ecosystem energetics

Prospective students should contact Dr. Joanna Blaszczak at
jblaszczak at unr.edu by November 15th, 2019 with the following as
attachments: (1) A one-page cover letter briefly describing your interest
in the position and your program and degree of choice, (2) your resume/CV
including contact information for at least two professional references, and
