Lab in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at <span style="background:white">
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is seeking a PhD student to begin Fall 2022. The position will be fully funded through a combination of research and teaching assistantships. We are specifically looking for applicants interested in the interactions
between hydrology and nitrogen biogeochemistry in US midwestern agroecosystems. The selected individual will lead efforts in examining water age/sources and nitrogen dynamics in a mesoscale agricultural watershed in central Illinois using water isotopes, nitrate
isotopes, high-frequency nitrate sensor, and existing long-term (3 decades) river hydrology and chemistry data.
