[Sophie Comer-Warner]

I am recruiting for a 4-year, funded PhD position in coastal
biogeochemistry in the Department of Geography and Environmental Systems at
the University of Maryland, Baltimore County to start in Fall 2026. The
research will fall within the following broad topics, investigating (i)
drivers of microbial-biogeochemical cycling and greenhouse gas fluxes in
coastal watersheds, (ii) effects of global environmental change on coastal
wetland biogeochemistry or (iii) fate and transport of microplastics and
their effect on biogeochemical cycling in coastal watersheds. The final
research objectives will be decided by the successful PhD candidate.
Applicants with a background in biogeochemistry, environmental
engineering/science, chemistry, or other related fields are welcome to
apply. Previous fieldwork and/or laboratory experience is required with
programming skills preferred but not required. The PhD candidates will work
directly with Dr. Sophie Comer-Warner (Sophie Comer-Warner – Department of
