The Center for Restoration of Ecosystems and Watersheds (CREW) in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) invites applications for MS and PhD research assistants in the areas of ecological engineering science and watershed remediation/restoration.
CREW performs multidisciplinary research in a collaborative environment involving scientists and engineers. Projects are focused on metal- contaminated lands and waters in the abandoned Tri-State Lead-Zinc Mining District of OK, KS and MO. Prior expertise in environmental field work and laboratory analyses preferred. Projects will examine 1) mine drainage passive treatment system function including wetlands biogeochemistry, ecology, hydrology and soil science and 2) contaminant fate and transport including mine pool/surface water interactions, land reclamation efficacy, and stream restoration. Assistantships for students pursing degrees in either environmental science or environmental engineering include 12-month stipends of up to $24,000 plus tuition waiver. Positions are immediately available. Applicants must meet admission requirements of the University of Oklahoma and CEES. Contact: Robert W. Nairn, Ph.D., School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, University of Oklahoma, 202 West Boyd St., Room 334, Norman, OK 73019.
