[ECOLOG-L] MS opportunity: Biogeochemistry University of Alabama
University of Alabama: M.S. opportunity in benthic nitrogen cycling for Summer 2011. We have a position available in the Biogeochemistry Lab (http://bama.ua.edu/~bmortazavi) that currently has active projects in nearshore coastal waters. The work is focused on effects eutrophication and oil spill on biogeochemical processes. The successful applicant will work on elucidating spatial and temporal patterns in nitrogen cycling in coastal waters located within the vicinity of Dauphin Island, a barrier island in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The initial work will focus on using membrane inlet mass spectrometry to detect rates of denitrification. Future work may involve tracing sources and utilization of nitrogen in coastal waters. 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, email: bmortaz...@ua.edu, ph: 251-861-2141 Ext 2189. Application information and forms are available at http://bsc.ua.edu/site/gradapply.htm. Funding is primarily in the form of research assistantships.
