Drs. David Shull and Sam Kastner are recruiting a funded Master’s student through Western Washington University’s Marine and Estuarine Science Program to study the spatiotemporal variability of benthic and water column respiration in Penn Cove, WA, a terminal inlet of Puget Sound prone to seasonal hypoxia. The student will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers at WWU, the University of Washington, and the University of British Columbia studying the potential influence of anthropogenic nutrient loading on hypoxia in the Salish Sea, and the physical and biogeochemical processes that lead to hypoxia and reoxygenation. A successful candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in environmental science or a physical science, preferably including coursework or research experience in oceanography, lab chemistry, quantitative data analysis, physics, and calculus. The student will be primarily advised by Dr. Shull. Interested applicants should reach out to both Drs. Shull (shulld at wwu.edu<mailto:shulld at wwu.edu>) and Kastner (kastnes at wwu.edu<mailto:kastnes at wwu.edu>), including a CV and an unofficial transcript. The WWU MESP application deadline is February 1st.


Best,

Sam Kastner
