Graduate/Postdoc Opportunities

Environmental Economic Geology Lab (EEGL) - University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada - Prof. Siobhan A. (Sasha) Wilson

Opportunities - 2 funded Postdoctoral positions to be advertised around September 2022.

1 Research Associate position currently available.

Research at EEGL: Environmental mineralogy and (bio)geochemistry. My team and I focus on improving the sustainability of the mineral resources industry, specifically using carbon mineralization with mineral wastes and waste water to remove or divert CO2 from the atmosphere while improving recovery of the critical metals needed for the energy transition. Our fundamental work on mineral weathering and formation of chemical sediments in natural environments provides context for our applied work by teaching us how to work with the Earth's natural cycles. We use a combination of experiments in the lab, field and at synchrotron light sources with analytical work and computational modelling.

Koper Lab - University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada - Prof. Nicola Koper

Opportunities - Professor Koper is always looking for strong students to pursue MSc degrees at her lab. Funding may be available for May/September 2023.

From Professor Koper - "To chat with me about opportunities in my lab, or for general advice to grad students, feel free to contact me at nicola.koper@umanitoba.ca. Let me know you got my name through Scientific Queeries!"

Research in the Koper Lab - Conservation Biology and Landscape Ecology. I look at impacts of human development on wildlife, primarily but not only birds. My research mostly takes place in Canada, Belize, and Grenada.

Luong Lab - University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada - Prof. Lien Luong

Opportunities - Funded MSc and PhD programs available to start January 2023 or September 2023.

Research in the Luong Lab - Ecology and evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions. This project will investigate the non-consumptive effects (NCE) of parasites on susceptible hosts, a phenomenon known as the “ecology of fear”. The student will examine how exposure to parasites can lead to changes in host behavior, morphology, or physiology, even in the absence of infection.

Climate X - United Kingdom

Opportunities - Funded PhD and Postdoctoral positions are available. Check www.climate-x.com/careers for more information.

Research at Climate X - Climate change impacts

Notes from the company -

"We are an industry based research group, with openly queer people in our leadership team. We study the physical impacts of climate change on cities, buildings and infrastructure. We currently have a paid internship for a UK PhD student. We regularly recruit postdoc level staff and PhD graduates for permanent roles. See www.climate-x.com/careers or @ClimateXLtd"

"We're working to build a society that's resilient to the impacts of climate change, and position our science outputs towards industries and decision makers where it can make a big difference.

We're doing our best to build a work environment where everybody feels valued and included. We offer regular support and training around e.g. mental health, disability, autism, and have a fully paid mental health service as part of our benefits package."
