<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Nitrous oxide emissions from rivers are poorly understood. This is in part due to the complex biological and hydrological processes controlling how this potent greenhouse gas
is produced and emitted. We are currently seeking a PhD student to help us fill this knowledge gap. The candidate will use braided rivers, which include parallel channels with low and high flows and dry gravel bars, as natural laboratories to test how river
flow controls nitrous oxide production and emission. This work will involve significant amounts of field work around New Zealand’s culturally significant braided rivers, and will combine techniques from biogeochemistry and hydrology. There will be a strong
focus on stable isotope techniques (δ<sup>15</sup>N, δ<sup>18</sup>O, Δ<sup>17</sup>O) and in-situ high frequency sensors.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">The PhD scholarship is funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand’s Marsden Fund project (‘Untangling the controls on nitrous oxide emissions from braided rivers’). Candidates
will be based at </span><a href="https://research.lincoln.ac.nz/our-research/faculties-research-centres/faculty-of-agriculture-and-life-sciences"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Lincoln University near Christchurch, New

</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Applicants must have an Honours or Masters degree, undertaken in English, in a related field such as biogeochemistry, hydrology, environmental chemistry, limnology, or closely related science. The
project will involve periods of intensive field measurements, laboratory work, and data processing. Experience with either large data sets or stable isotopes is preferred.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
