Research Assistantship: Stream ecosystem response to watershed disturbance.
M.S. or Ph.D. assistantship available in the Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, to study aspects of watershed land use change and nutrient loading on stream ecosystem structure and function. This work will involve landscape-scale studies linking watershed characteristics to biotic response (microbial and macroinvertebrate) as well as opportunities in education and outreach. The Ideal candidate would have previous experience with multiple components of stream ecosystems (carbon and nutrient flux, micro- and macro-organisms, and quantitative analyses) and excellent written and oral communication skills. Spatial analysis skills are additionally desirable. Research funding could begin as early as fall 2011, with potential opportunities to defer until January 2012. Applicants should send a letter of intent, with a CV, including 3 references with contact information, GPA and GRE scores to Dr. Amy Rosemond, Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia ( rosem...@uga.edu) by July 15 for consideration for fall admission. -- John Stephen Kominoski Postdoctoral Research Associate Odum School of Ecology University of Georgia 140 East Green Street Athens, Georgia 30602-2202, USA Email: jkomino...@gmail.com Phone: +1 706.542.4366 Fax: +1 706.542.4819 http://sites.google.com/site/jkominoski/
