PhD and Postdoctoral positions are currently available at the Laboratory of Environmental Biogeochemistry, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada.
The research group in environmental biogeochemistry conducts research projects leading to a better understanding of the fate of contaminants in ecosystems at the interface between different systems. Doctoral scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships are currently available in the field of Aquatic Biogeochemistry of Metals with a focus on polar ecosystems. The main study sites are located in the Canadian Arctic, subarctic and temperate areas, and include arctic and temperate snowpacks, arctic thermokarst systems and temperate lakes.
The available projects focus mainly on: 1) The photochemical processes affecting redox states of metals in water and snow; 2) The relationships between redox chemistry and metal bioavailability towards bacteria; 3) The role of biogenic thiols on metal complexation; 4) Factors affecting mercury biomagnification along northern food webs.
To apply, please send a CV, unofficial copies of transcripts, and a list of all publications to:
Marc Amyot, associate professor,
Departement de Sciences Biologiques,
Universite de Montreal,
CP 6128, Succ. Centre-Ville,
Pavillon Marie-Victorin,
