[ES_JOBS_NET] Graduate assistantship (M.S. or Ph.D.) at UNR in Watershed Biogeochemistry

[Joanna Blaszczak]

The Blaszczak Watershed Biogeochemistry and Stream Ecosystem Ecology Lab at
the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is looking for a M.S. or Ph.D. student
to join the lab. The M.S. or Ph.D. student will be funded by the Department
of Energy on the Quantifying Ecosystem Exports Across Space & Time (QuEST)
project to explore questions related to how stream ecosystems respond to
changing flow regimes in a warming climate. The student will be based at
the University of Nevada Reno and their primary field site will be near
campus, but they will be joining a highly collaborative project with
collaborators from the University of New Mexico, University of New
Hampshire, University of Alabama, University of Arkansas, and the
University of Oklahoma. Research activities include various water quality
and hydrology monitoring techniques (e.g., sensor deployment, water sample
collection) as well as the use of hydrobiogeochemical models. The preferred
start date is January 2024.


The ideal candidate for the position has previous research (lab and/or
field) and some data analysis experience (e.g. statistics coursework, R),
is self-motivated, diligent, and has a strong interest in being a part of a
collaborative team. See the Opportunities tab on the Blaszczak lab website (
https://blaszczaklab.weebly.com/) for more details. Our lab strives to
maintain an inclusive environment and welcomes all applicants regardless of
race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender-identity, physical
ability, or socio-economic status.

If interested, please provide the following information at this link (
https://forms.gle/5hgpcxWRdHt3Sqpk7) by October 1st, 2023: 1) a brief
(one-page) cover letter outlining your scientific interests and how you fit
this specific position, (2) your resume/CV, and (3) unofficial transcripts.
If the link doesn't work for you, please feel free to email those documents
to Dr. Joanna Blaszczak at jblaszczak at unr.edu and reach out with any
questions!

UNR Graduate Program Information:
Successful applicants will join one of the following Ph.D. programs at UNR:
Natural Resources and Environmental Science (NRES), Graduate Program in
Hydrologic Sciences (GPHS), or Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology
(EECB). These programs are part of the UNR Graduate School and students are
encouraged to read through the program specific and graduate school
websites for more information about eligibility, admissions, and life in
Reno. Graduate students would be part of the NRES department which has
faculty with a diverse set of expertise that would enrich the student’s
experience.

UNR is a Carnegie classified R1 institution with a wonderful community of
scientists interested in freshwater ecology and water resource management
(e.g. UNR Global Water Center). Reno is at the base of the eastern Sierra
Nevada Mountains with incredible access to outdoor recreational activities
including skiing, climbing, hiking, and mountain biking. We are ~45 minutes
from Lake Tahoe, 3 hours from Yosemite National Park, and 3.5 hours from
San Francisco. Reno also has a diverse artistic and cultural community with
much to offer.
