[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD position available at Large Lakes Observatory

[Kathryn Schreiner]

We are seeking a highly motivated, independent, and creative graduate
student interested in Great Lakes research to join our team at the
University of Minnesota Duluth. A successful candidate will join an
interdisciplinary team of geochemists, analytical chemists, limnologists,
and ecologists to investigate the fluxes and sources of pollutants and the
impact of sediment source and organic geochemistry on pollutant fluxes and
transformations. This is a fully-funded PhD position with funding available
for at least four years starting Fall 2021.

We seek a candidate with strong analytical and/or geochemistry skills,
including experience with LCMS and/or GCMS, quantitative analysis of trace
organics, and general experience in wet lab extraction, cleanup, and
preparation of samples. Additionally, the ideal candidate would have
experience with fieldwork, including shipboard, strong oral and written
communication skills, and an interest in limnology and the Great Lakes. The
student will work between two interdisciplinary research units on the
University of Minnesota Duluth campus: the Natural Resources Research
Institute <https://www.nrri.umn.edu/> and the Large Lakes Observatory
<https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory>, and will pursue their PhD
in Water Resources Science <https://wrs.umn.edu/>, an interdisciplinary
graduate program that spans science and engineering disciplines across the
University of Minnesota Duluth and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

The University of Minnesota Duluth is the second-largest university in the
Minnesota University system, and is located on the beautiful western shore
of Lake Superior. Duluth, MN, recently voted the best town in America by
readers of Outside magazine,

hundreds of miles of hiking, mountain biking, running, and skiing trails
within the city limits as well as beaches, breweries, restaurants, and
other cultural activities.
