We invite applications from talented and highly motivated students interested in pursuing a M.S. degree in Environmental Chemistry.
As part of the ECOGIG (Ecosystem impacts of oil and gas inputs to the Gulf) consortium, the successful applicant will participate in a collaborative project to study the long term impacts of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill on deep-water sedimentary microbial communities. The student will conduct both field and laboratory research. Applicants are expected to hold a B.S. in Chemistry, or related field, and start in the fall of 2012. The prospective students must be admitted to the University of Maryland Marine-Estuarine-Environmental Sciences (MEES) program and will conduct research at the UMCES Chesapeake Biological Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Laura Lapham.
