<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We are looking for motivated, creative, independent students interested in research on aquatic chemistry and harmful algal blooms (HABs). Our project seeks to improve our understanding of Lake Erie nutrient dynamics
and HABs through a combination of field in-situ measurements, laboratory experiments, satellite remote sensing, and numerical modeling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">A BS/MS in a relevant science field (e.g., biology, chemistry, earth science, limnology, oceanography, environmental science, computer science) is required. Students should be enthusiastic to work in a variety
of settings, from fieldwork on a small research vessel to lab and computer-based research. Members from groups underrepresented in STEM are highly encouraged to apply. A competitive research stipend will be provided. Preference will be given to candidates
with a passion for aquatic science, prior experience with chemical analyses, dedication to long days in the field and lab, and demonstrated proficiency in quantitative, writing and communication skills.<o:p></o:p></p>
