Hi everyone, My team is looking to hire a student for field and lab work on two related projects emphasizing water quality and algae/rooted aquatic plant growth. This student will conduct field work and lab work alongside other researchers on two related projects from May to August of 2025. You will be trained for all work activities and will be required to participate (free of charge) in first aid/CPR and field safety training. Project 1: We will explore how wildfire severity influences the rate of change, duration, and magnitude of dissolved oxygen changes in rivers that receive wildfire ash input. Most of this work will take place in a laboratory setting with occasional low-intensity field work involved to collect soil and water samples. Work will include operating a drying oven and muffle furnace and requires attention to detail in recording and handling samples and data. The project is expected to run from June to August and will require less than 10 hours a week. Project 2: We are embarking on our third year of a study evaluating the drivers of algae and rooted aquatic plant growth on the Klamath River following dam removal. This will take place from May to August and will include three-day field campaigns to northern California every two weeks. This work will involve light kayaking, wading, snorkeling, algae/plant identification, and overnight camping at campgrounds. Conditions will be HOT, at times buggy, and physically challenging, and we work long hours. But it is also the most fun I've ever had doing field work.
