The Department of Environmental Assessment is a centre for freshwater and forest soil research with a special focus on environmental monitoring and assessment. The department also performs teaching and gives expert support to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, SEPA. At present the department consists of some 65 employees; ca 25 of which are senior and post-doc scientists and some 10 PhD students. The department is divided into four research sections: geochemistry, biodiversity, organic environmental pollutants and modelling, and covers program areas such as (i) environmental monitoring and assessment, (ii) environmental pollutants, and (iii) integrated catchment monitoring. We now would like to enlarge our research group by announcing a Ph D Student position in aquatic ecology.
Applications are encouraged for a 4-year Ph D position focusing on atmospheric deposition and climate effects on the nitrogen cycling and on the biota in aquatic ecosystems. Aided with extensive long-term meteorological, deposition and site-specific databases the applicant will explore whether decreasing nitrogen deposition together with climatic changes may lead to nitrogen limitation in freshwaters with consequences for biodiversity.
We seek for a dedicated candidate with a degree in aquatic ecology/biology or other relevant subjects. Good knowledge in statistics is desirable and the ability to publish in English is meriting. The starting date is negotiable, but preferably August 1, 2007.
PhD study programmes leading to a doctorate include a minimum of four years of full-time studies after your undergraduate degree. To be admitted as a postgraduate student, you must already have a degree from at least a three-year university course.
SLU is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
