Job Description
PhD Positions in Water Quality/Stream Biogeochemistry via Society for Freshwater Science University of Arkansas Fayetteville, AR, USA 🇺🇸 The Speir Lab at the University of Arkansas is hiring 1-2 PhD students for a summer start! We are looking for folks specifically with a background in water quality, aquatic biogeochemistry, stream ecology, or a similar aquatic-related field. The selected candidate(s) will either be working on the Arkansas Discovery Watershed Program (ADW) or the impacts of switching from conventional fertilizer to biochar amended poutlry litter on water quality. The specific focus will be determined based on the Speir Lab's needs and the student's interests, but may include varying nutrients (N vs. P) or sediments, time scales, and spatial scales, as well as a combination of both experimental and field studies. Students in the Speir Lab receive extensive training in water chemistry analysis, foundational stream ecology methods, and scicomm. We also conduct regular year-round field work (~1-2x per week - even when it's cold, raining, etc!). Students will attend conferences annually to present their work.
