The NSF-funded Christina Basin Critical Zone Observatory (CRB-CZO, http://www.udel.edu/czo) – a collaborative and multi-scale research effort among the University of Delaware (www.udel.edu), the Stroud Water Research Center(www.stroudcenter.org), and the Delaware Environmental Institute (www.udel.edu/denin) – has openings for 8 Ph.D. students.
The CRB-CZO focuses on the properties of carbon-mineral complexes and the impacts of weathering, erosion, and fluvial network dynamics on the formation and sequestration of these complexes in watersheds with mixed land uses.
Individual students will have a primary mentor/advisor, but the CRB-CZO research program fosters and encourages collaboration among the Ph.D. students, 3 post doctoral scientists working on the project, and senior investigators. We anticipate that student training will benefit from working with multiple investigators within the research team. CRB-CZO scientists have expertise in hydrology, soil physics, biogeochemistry, organic geochemistry, geomorphology, and ecosystem science, and modeling.
Ph.D. candidates may have diverse backgrounds which include but are not limited to MS. in earth, ecological, and environmental sciences. Potential candidates are encouraged to visit the project web site to study the research focus areas, key hypotheses and questions, and the faculty involved.
Candidates should include a cover letter with their research interests, a CV, transcripts, GRE scores, all refereed manuscripts, and contact information for three references. All material should be sent electronically to Dr. Amy Broadhurst (als@udel.edu).
We also strongly encourage candidates to contact individual CZO faculty for further information and guidance. Reviews will begin Feb. 15 and continue until all positions are filled.
