Master’s Research Assistant, Contaminant Hydrogeology, UW-Milwaukee
The Paradis Lab at UW-Milwaukee has a fully funded, two-year, master’s research assistant position beginning in the spring of 2023. This position is funded by the NSF with an annual stipend of $26,180 and includes a tuition waiver, health benefits, and supplemental dental and/or vision insurance; additional financial support may be available via Department awards and University fellowships. This position aims to elucidate the biogeochemical reactions that are likely responsible for mobilizing uranium under oxygen- and carbonate-rich conditions in groundwater.
This position will primarily require computational modeling of previously collected field experimental data and may include designing and conducting new laboratory experiments; field-based research will likely be minimal. Strong applicants will hold a bachelor’s degree in geology with coursework that includes one year each of calculus, physics, and chemistry, one summer of field-based training in geology, and at least one course each in hydrogeology and computer programming. Exceptional applicants will also have field- and lab-based research experience in contaminant hydrogeology and groundwater flow/contaminant transport modeling with computer programs such as MODFLOW, MT3D, PHREEQC, and PEST.
Interested applicants should write a one-page cover letter (pdf) that answers the following three questions:
- How are you qualified for this position?
- Why do you want this position? and
- What will you do with your master’s degree?
to Dr. Charles J. Paradis at paradisc@uwm.edu with the subject heading as follows: “MS App U-Mobility Last Name First Initial”.
