[ES_JOBS_NET] Graduate Position: PFAS Environmental Fate and Transport; UMN-Duluth

[Alexander Frie]

*Graduate Position*: Environmental Fate and Transport; Water Resources
*Priority Deadline: *December 1, 2022
*Apply to*: The University of Minnesota Water Resources Science graduate
program
*Start Date: *Summer or Fall 2023
*Funding:* Fully Funded Position
*Contact:* Alexander Frie (afrie at umn.edu)

*Project: *Wet deposition (transport through precipitation) of per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS) is a known but unconstrained mechanism of PFAS introduction to
hydrologic systems.
This project aims to broaden the understanding of chemical tracers, source
regions, and the
importance of wet-deposited PFAS in the Great Lakes region. This project
will leverage PFAS
precipitation, sediment, and runoff data from the National Atmospheric
Deposition Program
(NADP), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-supported Great Lakes
Sediment
Surveillance Program, and the United States Geological Survey
(USGS)-supported sampling
efforts.

*Position: *Dr. Alexander Frie’s Source, Fate, and Transport Group seeks a
graduate student to
start summer or fall 2023. Our group investigates transport of chemicals
between the atmosphere and other environmental “spheres,” particularly the
hydrosphere. We work at the interface of atmospheric modeling,
environmental chemistry, and water resources. Our group is part of
Minnesota Sea Grant, a systemwide program of the University of Minnesota.
Our group is located on the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) campus.
This student will also work
closely with Dr. Bridget Ulrich’s Environmental Chemistry Lab at the UMD
Natural Resource
Research Institute.

*How to Apply:* The student must apply and be accepted to the University of
Minnesota Water Resources Science (WRS) graduate program. WRS is an
integrated interdisciplinary graduate program that spans various
departments and institutes at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and
the University of Minnesota Duluth. The research will be conducted at
Minnesota Sea Grant and NRRI in Duluth, Minnesota.

Interested candidates should apply to the WRS graduate program and indicate
interest in working in Dr. Frie’s group in their application.

*Contacts:* For more information about the project and position,
contact *Alexander
Frie (afrie at umn.edu <afrie at umn.edu>)*. For questions about the WRS graduate
program and application process, contact wrs at umn.edu.Additional information
is provided on the Water Resources Science (WRS) graduate program website.

*Deadlines:* The priority deadline for Fall 2023 applications to the WRS
program is December 1 2022. Students who apply by this date will be
considered for certain fellowships. However, all applications will be
reviewed and are eligible for assistantships after that date.
