[LTER-opportunities] PhD Opportunity: Antarctic Lakes

[Marty Downs]

The Priscu Research Group is seeking a motivated Ph.D. student to work on
the aquatic systems in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica as part of the
McMurdo LTER project (http://www.mcmlter.org/).

This six-year interdisciplinary project extends 24 years of previous data
collection on the permanently ice-covered lakes of the region and will
focus on biogeochemical responses to changes in landscape connectivity and
climate. The successful applicant will be expected to interact with
technicians, graduate students and PI’s in Antarctic fieldwork. The
successful applicant must also pass the medical and dental exams required
by NSF for Antarctic deployment. A Master’s degree in ecosystem modeling,
aquatic biogeochemistry, or microbial ecology is desirable.

Interested students should contact Amy Chiuchiolo, Montana State
University, Bozeman (achiuchiolo at montana.edu) and include a brief statement
of interest.
