Job Description

We are interested in collaborative and keen candidates that have a strong background in winter limnology, cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, and comparative limnology. A significant portion of this research will be writing manuscripts with data from the multi-year On Thin Ice project. This year-round field-based project combines data across 93 international networked lakes, 23 gradient lakes, and 6 model lakes with high frequency sensor data. The candidate will also need data management and statistical skills, ideally in the R platform. We offer a competitive salary, medical coverage, and opportunities for professional development.
Minimum Qualification:
PhD in Biology, Limnology, or a related field by the time of appointment.
Candidates will be evaluated on:
ability to work with year-round limnological data from >100 lakes over multiple years. Scientific communication and writing skills and leadership to oversee this collaborative project with many partners are desired.
