Position Announcement - Graduate Research Assistant, Ph.D.
Sep. 11, 2009 (Posted by: Duckworth)
We seek an exceptional Ph.D. student to conduct NSF-funded independent research on the interactions of microbial exudates (siderophores) with mineral surfaces and metals. Activities include conducting traditional geochemical, molecular modeling, and cutting-edge spectroscopic experiments to better understand the fundamental mechanisms of biogeochemical processes. Opportunities exist to interact closely with collaborators in and travel to Northern California and New York City.
Related activities include laboratory work in Raleigh and California; data analysis; report and manuscript preparation; and presentation of research at local, regional, and national meetings. All GRAs participate in our teaching program by assisting in the instruction three laboratory sections of the introductory undergraduate soils course or an equivalent teaching experience.
