[Aqualist] Fully-funded PhD

[Andrew Rees]

Dear AQUA members,

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated student to undertake a fully-funded PhD project investigating lake health and ecosystem function through time in response to land use intensification. This PhD project is part of an internationally unique study ‘Lakes380—Our Lakes’ Health: past, present, future’ that aims to collect and analyse sediments cores from 10% of New Zealand’s 3,800 lakes (www.lakes380.com). The PhD research will integrate high-resolution chronology (14C, 210Pb and 137Cs) from sediment cores with novel (eDNA, hyperspectral imagery) and traditional (diatom, chironomid, cladocera) proxies of water quality and ecosystem function.

Candidates should submit to jamie.howarth at vuw.ac.nz: a complete CV (including academic transcripts) and a letter containing the following information - motivation for applying, research interests and experience, and the name and contact details of two or more academic referees. Applications received on or before 1st Nov 2019 will be considered.  The successful applicant will be expected to take up the position no later than the 1st of March 2020.

See the attached advertisement for more details.
