<div class="ContentPasted0 elementToProof">The Blaszczak Aquatic Ecosystem Ecology Lab at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is seeking a Ph.D. student to work on a project funded by the National Science Foundation with collaborators from the University of
Utah and CSU San Marcos to collect field data and develop models to understand and predict cyanotoxin production by cyanobacteria in rivers in northern California, Nevada, and Utah. This is a highly collaborative project, and the student can expect to work
with other graduate students, a postdoc, and technicians as well as an interdisciplinary group of stakeholders. </div>
