The Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab (ABL) at the University of Central Florida is recruiting one MS student and one PhD student interested in coastal and wetland ecology and biogeochemistry to join our lab. Both students will be supported on graduate research assistantships (GRAs), which provide full tuition and stipend. The students will work on an NSF-funded interdisciplinary project focused on understanding the ecological impacts of oyster reef and living shoreline restorations on biogeochemical processes and microbial ecology in the Indian River Lagoon, FL. Students will have the freedom to develop a thesis/dissertation project related to this subject, or another topic of their choosing that falls within the research focal areas of the ABL. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of a 3.0 and GRE scores in the 50th percentile or higher for verbal and quantitative to qualify for admission into the UCF Biology Department. Additional information can be found at the ABL website: http://sciences.ucf.edu/biology/abl/. Interested students should email Dr. Lisa Chambers ([email protected]).
