*Graduate Research Assistantships Coastal and Estuarine Wetlands* We are seeking individuals with experience in tidal wetlands, coastal habitats, wetland ecology, or soil-environmental science to study salt marshes and shallow subtidal estuarine ecosystems of the glaciated northeast. Our focus is on mapping intertidal and subtidal ecosystems, investigating the change in distribution of these systems as a result of global change, understanding effects of sea level rise on ecosystem and soil dynamics, developing ecological site descriptions, and assessing soil-landscape based management strategies to combat salt marsh loss from sea-level rise. Applicants should be available to start by June 1, 2016 and have an excellent academic record, work ethic, quantitative skills, as well as be physically fit and capable of field work wetlands.
