[ECOLOG-L] PhD opportunity in Ecosystem Ecology and Management
The Ryals Laboratory in the Life and Environmental Sciences Unit at the University of California, Merced is seeking an exceptional Ph.D. student. The student will participate in on-going and emerging areas of research related to ecological approaches to sanitation, climate-smart agriculture, and soil carbon sequestration. The student is encouraged to develop an original research project. There is an opportunity to connect science to grand sustainability challenges through involvement in the lab’s collaborations with Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL<https://www.oursoil.org/>) in Haiti, waste managers in California, and ranchers in California and Hawaii. Preference will be given to an applicant with B.Sc. or M.Sc. in ecosystem ecology, soil science, or biogeochemistry and those with field and/or laboratory experience. Student support will include full tuition waiver, stipend, and Teaching Assistantship. To indicate your interest, please send 1) a cover letter with a brief description of past experience and reasons for interest in the position, 2) a curriculum vitae, and 3) contact information of three references to Dr. Rebecca Ryals at rry...@ucmerced.edu. More information about the research program in the Ryals lab is available at https://ryalslab.wordpress.com/ <https://ryalslab.wordpress.com/> Official applications<http://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu/prospective-students/how-apply> for graduate education in the Environmental Systems Group at UC Merced (http://es.ucmerced.edu/) should be submitted to the Graduate Division before the deadline of January 15, 2018. Applicants are also encouraged to apply for university-wide fellowship programs for which they are eligible, most of which are due on or before January 15, 2018. The UC Merced is located in the heart of California’s agricultural Central Valley, offering exceptional opportunities for graduate students interested in management or policy relevant-science. Merced is an affordable city that is centrally located with easy access to the Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite National Park, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the central California coastline. The University of California, Merced is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of diversity among its faculty, staff and students.
[ECOLOG-L] AGU session: the Bio-atmospheric N Cycle
Dear colleagues, We welcome your contributions to our AGU session, *B060. The Bio-atmospheric N cycle: N emissions, transformations, deposition, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem impacts*. This session is in its 15th year running. We look forward to another year of interesting and diverse presentations on this topic. Abstracts can be submitted at https://agu.confex.com/agu/ fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session24512. Further details are below. *SESSION TITLE:* B06: The Bio-atmospheric N cycle: N emissions, transformations, deposition, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem impacts *SESSION ID:* 24512 Session Description: Biogenic and anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen (Nr) are transported, chemically transformed, and deposited on land and waters, altering structure and function of ecosystems and degrading environmental quality. Estimating atmospheric N emissions and deposition, and evaluating ecosystem responses require a diverse array of measurements and models that link processes at multiple scales. We seek presentations on physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes that drive local, regional and global nitrogen exchange, impacts on ecosystems, carbon uptake, nitrogen export, biodiversity, human health, and policy implications and responses. Conveners: Stuart B Weiss, Meredith Galanter Hastings, Rebecca Ryals Feel free to contact Rebecca Ryals (ry...@hawaii.edu) with any questions about the session. We hope to see you there!
