Ph.D. Research Assistantship in Sea Ice-Ocean Biology/Biogeochemistry Interactions (Clark University, Massachusetts, USA)
The Graduate School of Geography at Clark University invites applications for a Ph.D. research assistantship in satellite remote sensing of sea ice and ocean biology/biogeochemistry in the Pacific Arctic region. This NASA-funded project seeks to further our understanding of sea ice-ocean biology/biogeochemistry interactions in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, with a particular focus on how enhanced light transmittance through a melting sea ice cover will impact ocean primary productivity and photodegradation of dissolved organic matter. Candidates should have strong interests in satellite remote sensing, quantitative analysis, laboratory work, and remote fieldwork. The successful candidate will join the Polar Science Research Laboratory at Clark (http://wordpress.clarku.edu/kfrey/) and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues from CRREL, University of Washington, and NASA Goddard. For further information, please contact Prof. Karen Frey (kfrey@clarku.edu) and see application details at http://www.clarku.edu/departments/geography/graduate/apply.cfm (deadline December 31, 2013). Clark University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
