Global Change and Watershed Biogeochemistry Lab
***Join Our Group! ***
Laboratory/Field Technician
I am looking for full or part-time assistance in the lab. Please contact John Harrison if you hold an MA in an environmentally related field, have experience with biogeochemical research, and are interested in employment in the beautiful Portland/Vancouver area.
Prospective Graduate Students
Graduate assistantships are available in Dr. John Harrison’s watershed biogeochemistry research group at Washington State University’s Vancouver Campus. We are seeking independent, motivated students with an interest in biogeochemistry and/or land-water interactions. These assistantships are available primarily for M.S. students, but exceptional Ph.D. candidates will also be considered. Prospective students should have a strong background in the physical sciences (including at least a year of undergraduate chemistry) and a dedication to research that improves understanding and management of aquatic and land-based resources. Experience with or interest in conducting fieldwork will be considered favorably. Admission requirements and application materials for WSU Vancouver’s M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science are available on the WSU Vancouver website. M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Geology are also an option, and more information on these is available at the homepage for WSU’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Interested parties should either apply directly to WSU Vancouver or contact John Harrison for additional information.
In addition, interested graduate students are also strongly encouraged to seek their own funding through external fellowships.
