The Institut des sciences de la mer de Rimouski (ISMER) of the Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) announces the availability of two scholarships for graduate studies at the MSc and PhD levels. The successful MSc applicant will work on photooxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and geochemical cycling of carbonyl sulfide (COS) in Canadian Arctic seas, as part of the newly funded Canadian Arctic SOLAS program. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry or a related field. Dr. Michael Scarratt (co-supervisor) of the Maurice-Lamontagne Institute and Dr. Maurice Levasseur of Laval University will collaborate on this project. The PhD project will focus on the impact of dissolved organic matter photochemistry on the carbon and nutrient cycling in northern marine ecosystems. This position requires a master’s degree in chemistry, biology or a related field. Experience in marine sciences is an asset but not essential. Dr. Paul del Giorgio (co-supervisor) of University of Quebec at Montreal will collaborate on this project. Both the MSc and PhD projects will require fieldwork on a research vessel. Preference will be given to candidates who are fluent in both English and French. For detailed information, please contact Dr. Huixiang Xie, email: huixiang_xie@uqar.qc.ca. To apply, please send a detailed CV, grade transcripts, and two letters of recommendation by email or, for hardcopy applications, to Dr. Huixiang Xie, ISMER-UQAR, 310, allée des Ursulines, Rimouski, QC, Canada G5L 3A1.

Doctoral Assistanship, Benthic Foraminiferal Biogeochemistry/Paleoceanography
Doctoral Assistantship Available Summer/Fall 2007 -
The Deep-sea Benthic Foraminiferal Culturing Facility at the University of South Carolina recently received funding by the National Science Foundation to investigate the biological response of trace element and stable isotope paleoproxies in benthic foraminfera to ambient pH/pCO2 variation. An integral part of the proposed research involves building, testing, and maintaining a novel pCO2 control system developed for the long-term cultures. Research areas associated with the project include but are not limited to – foraminiferal biomineralization and trace element uptake, elemental and isotopic analytical method development for microbiominerals, in situ physical, environmental, and chemical analysis method development, long-term aquaculture, trace element geochemistry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), laser ablation ICP-MS, secondary ion microprobe spectrometry (SIMS), micro-Raman spectroscopy, environmentally-induced gene expression, and trace element paleoproxy development.
Oceanographic research cruises are slated for May 2006 and 2007.
Knowledge of chemical or paleoceanography, microbial laboratory techniques, computer control (automated PID controllers), aquaculture, water filtration and unit operations, or analytical chemistry are a bonus.
For more information or to send CV and brief letter of research interest, contact:
Dr. Christopher Hintz
