New PhD opportunities: Rebalancing the Nitrogen Cycle (January/September, 2022)
The Elliott Biogeochemistry Laboratory in the Department of Geology & Environmental Science at the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA) is hiring 1-2
graduate students at the PhD level to participate in a new NSF-funded ECO CBET grant (#2133423)
The PhD student(s) will join an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers in designing and testing new carriers that deliver nitrogen-based fertilizers to crops
with minimal leaching losses. We are specifically looking for applicants interested in sustainable agriculture, plant/soil interactions, isotope tracers, and nutrient dynamics. The research team will engage with stakeholders through the Pittsburgh Water
Collaboratory, housed at the University of Pittsburgh and the public through programming at the University of Pittsburgh’s field station, Pymatuning Lab of Ecology.
Research in the Elliott lab is focused on understanding reactive nitrogen dynamics in Earth systems using
stable isotope bio/geochemistry. More information about the Elliott lab can be found on the lab website at (pitt.edu/~eelliott/).

Multiple Fall 2022 graduate openings at Texas Tech University
Deadline- October 31, 2021
The Smith Ecophysiology Lab at Texas Tech University is looking for new Masters and PhD students to join our group in Fall 2022. We are looking for students interested in understanding
mechanisms underlying plant physiological acclimation to global change and the resulting impacts these processes have on future Earth system dynamics. Prospective students should have a background in plant physiology, plant ecology, Earth system science, or a similar field.
More information on the lab can be found at smithecophyslab.com. Students are encouraged to have a look at recent publications from the lab prior to applying.
Google PhD Fellowships directly support graduate students as they pursue their PhD, as well as connect them to a Google Research Mentor.
Nurturing and maintaining strong relations with the academic community is a top priority at Google. The Google PhD Fellowship Program was created to recognize outstanding graduate students doing exceptional and innovative research in areas relevant to computer science and related
fields. Fellowships support promising PhD candidates of all backgrounds who seek to influence the future of technology. Google’s mission is to foster inclusive research communities and encourages people of diverse
PhD student interested in reservoir ecology, eutrophication, land use, and cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs), University of Missouri-Columbia
Interested candidates will conduct fieldwork, laboratory analyses, and utilize statistical techniques to analyze their data. The successful applicant will have strong skills in these areas, a collaborative nature, and a background and/or interest in limnology, aquatic
ecology, and biogeochemistry. Strong writing skills are desired and candidates must have a published or submitted manuscript from their MS or undergraduate research experience.
Interested in graduate student and Postdoc opportunities in phenology, soil, and wildfire?
For Fall 2022, Dr. Zhu at the University of California, Santa Cruz is accepting PhD students through the Environmental Studies Doctoral Program.
