The Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab at the University of Central Florida is seeking a PhD student to begin Su or Fa 2018 who is interested in studying the interactive impacts of sea level rise and urbanization on coastal wetland soil carbon dynamics. A secondary interest or experience in the use of remote sensing for ecosystem evaluation is a plus. Financial support will be provided through a combination of teaching and research assistantships. The student must possess a M.S. degree in environmental science, biology, chemistry, or a related field by the start date and have a competitive GRE and GPA. The ideal candidate would also have experience working in wetlands and/or coastal systems and strong analytical laboratory skills.
The Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab is an energetic and passionate group of students (graduate and undergraduate) and staff (lab manager and postdoctoral scholar) under the mentorship of Dr. Lisa Chambers and housed within the UCF Biology Department. We emphasize strong mentoring, collaborative learning, peer-reviewed publishing, and timely degree completion.
