The Aqueous Geochemistry Laboratory host undergraduate students through GEO 487, CHE 487, and Verticalled Integrated Projects (VIP) courses. 

More infromation about the undergraduate research is available on VIP website at https://www.stonybrook.edu/vertically-integrated-projects-new/teams/vip-teams.html?team_id=60

Interested students should contact the PI with a CV, a brief statement about reserach interest and experience, and transcripts. Screening will be based on background match, merit, and time committment. 

The Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University will welcome students to its Hydrogeology master’s program beginning in Fall 2027. Coursework includes groundwater hydrology, aqueous geochemistry, rock and soil physics, numerical hydrology, statistics and probability, and organic contaminant hydrology. Final research projects are arranged individually with faculty supervisors, including in the Aqueous Geochemistry Lab.

The Aqueous Geochemistry Laboratory in the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry,  beginning in Fall 2027. 

The student will study iron and magnesium carbonate nucleation and its connections to environmental rock weathering and carbon sequestration. The project will also involve water–rock interaction experiments to investigate the natural enrichment of critical minerals and the geochemical reactions involved in mineral exploration and extraction. The student will work with the PI to guide undergraduate research.

Applicants should have B.S. or M.S. in chemistry, geosciences, environmental science/engineering, or a related field. Applicants may apply through either the Geosciences or Chemistry department. Previous experience in chemistry and wet-chemistry laboratory work is preferred.

If interested, please send a CV, a brief statement of research experience and interests, unofficial transcripts, and standard test scores (e.g. GRE, TOEFL, IELTS) to Dr. Qingyun Li (Email: qingyun.li[at]stonybrook[dot]edu). Candidates whose background aligns well with the position will be invited to submit a formal application through the Stony Brook graduate admissions portal: https://www.stonybrook.edu/geosciences/graduate/apply-now/
