Expiration Date: 
Monday, June 3, 2024

The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Group within the Environmental Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks a postdoctoral researcher with an understanding of aquatic biology and chemistry, with a specific focus on contaminant behavior and bioaccumulation in freshwater systems. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team of environmental scientists at ORNL to understand the chemical and ecological factors controlling mercury methylation and bioaccumulation in contaminated aquatic systems and will develop experimental designs aimed at mitigating methylmercury bioaccumulation.

Course: Ecology and Systematics of Diatoms, Iowa Lakeside Lab

Expiration Date: 
Monday, May 20, 2024

This course, now in its 61st year, will introduce students to field and laboratory study of freshwater diatoms. We will visit diverse aquatic habitats of the Upper Midwest to make live and fossil collections of most freshwater diatom genera. Students will learn techniques in collection, preparation, and identification of diatoms. Lectures will cover diatom taxonomy, systematics, stream, lake, and wetland ecology, research applications, and bio-geography. Students will assemble individual voucher collections as a means for practicing diatom research and species verification. As a final project, students will complete a taxonomic treatment of a species that will be ready to submit for peer-review to the Diatoms of the North America (diatoms.org).

Postdocs at Michigan State University: PFAS biogeochemistry and/or Hg-Se interactions

Expiration Date: 
Tuesday, October 1, 2024

The Watershed Biogeochemistry in the Anthropocene Lab (http://gersonlab.weebly.com) at Michigan State University is recruiting motivated, collaborative, and curious postdoctoral scholars interested in biogeochemistry. We are recruiting for two positions: (1) investigating the fate and cycling of PFAS in surface waters and (2) investigating the impact of Se on Hg microbial methylation and/or accumulation in the base of the food web.
