[From Diatom-L] University of Alaska Fairbanks Department of Geosciences is looking for a PhD student to start in late Summer, 2023. The incoming student will join an NSF-funded project examining marine-terrestrial connections on the Bering Land Bridge/Bering Sea over the past ~30 thousand years. The goals of this interdisciplinary project are to reconstruct the vegetation of interior and coastal sites on the emergent Bering Land Bridge and evaluate the relationship between sea ice extent and aridity during the Pleistocene and Holocene. The student will kick-start their PhD research with a month-long cruise in the Bering Sea to collect sediment cores in August, 2023. Applicants must be accepted into the UAF graduate program and enroll for Fall semester prior to the start date of the summer research assistantship. Students interested in paleoclimatology, paleoecology, and/or sedimentology are encouraged to apply. The student will use diatoms and fossil pollen as markers for environmental change and thus it is imperative that the student is comfortable using a microscope for long hours. Prior taxonomic experience is not necessary but would be an advantage. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr. Sarah Fowell or Dr. Beth Caissie for more information.

This appointment is funded by the National Science Foundation and will focus on the evolution of the symbiotic relationship between members of the diatom (Bacillariophyta) order Rhopalodiales and Cyanobacteria. We seek an individual with expertise and interest in the generation, assembly, annotation, and analysis of organellar and nuclear genomes, the evolution of symbiosis, and the congruence (or incongruence) of molecular and morphological data. We seek someone who is an excellent writer, has great communication skills, and is interested in collaborating with an international team of faculty and students. The candidate should also show a strong interest in teaching and mentoring students.
