University of Alabama: oil impact on biogeochemical cycling in near shore marine systems starting in Fall 2012.
Application deadline is March 15, 2012 (but exceptional candidates will be considered past this deadline). We are seeking candidates in the Biogeochemistry Lab http://bama.ua.edu/~bmortazavi/Mortazavi_Lab/Welcome.html). The successful applicant will work on elucidating spatial and temporal patterns in benthic nitrogen cycling in coastal waters impacted by the oil spill in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The initial work will focus on using membrane inlet mass spectrometry to determine rates of denitrification. The assistantship will include (1) a tuition waiver, (2) an annual stipend and (3) health insurance. For additional information, contact Dr. Behzad Mortazavi, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa AL 35487, ph: 251- 861-2189.
