Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Graduate student positions at McGill University in
limnology and ecosystem ecology

I am currently recruiting for graduate students on two projects in my
aquatic ecology lab at McGill University. Both positions are available, with
stipends, at the PhD or MSc level. Start dates of January, June, or
September 2012 are possible.

The first project involves a whole-lake experiment to test whether changing
terrestrial organic matter inputs subsidize lake food webs. There are
opportunities for interested students to work on organismal (fishes,
invertebrates, microbes) or biogeochemical aspects of the project. Field
work for this project will occur mainly at a remote field station in the
spectacular northwoods of upper Michigan, USA.

The second project focuses on understanding carbon cycle processes in lakes,
using sensor network data and statistical and simulation modeling. Good
quantitative skills are essential. Field work for this project will occur at
the same Michigan field station and at temperate and boreal sites throughout
Québec, with additional international travel for workshops with
collaborators. 

If you are interested in applying, please email Dr. Chris Solomon
([log in to unmask]) with a cover letter stating research interests, a
current CV, and your undergraduate transcripts (and GRE scores if
available). Review of applications will begin 3 Oct 2011 to accommodate
possible January 2012 start date, but will continue throughout the fall and
winter until positions are filled.
