New study synthesises zooplankton data from 311 lakes in 37 countries! A great resource for freshwater ecology! See: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Great leadership Steph Figary, @rmpilla.bsky.social, @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social & @drplanktonguy.bsky.social! 🧪

GRAD POSITION: MSc position aquatic ecology and conservation at Laurentian University w/ flexible start date. Contact Brie Edwards (see ALT text) for more details #AcademicSky

We are currently seeking a MSc domestic student (i.e. Canadian citizen or permanent resident) to join a cohort of newly recruited HQP. The project will focus on developing and testing novel stream biomonitoring methods incorporating eDNA to assay community membership from microbes to fish. These rapid bioassessment techniques will be tested against traditional approaches in their ability to produce functional, community and multi-trophic indicators of ecosystem integrity and biodiversity along a gradient of impact recovery. The student will be hosted at Laurentian University (Dr. Brie Edwards) and co-supervised by Dr. Erik Emilson (Natural Resources Canada). Field work will begin in Spring of 2025 and will be conducted in the Sudbury area. As such we are recruiting a student interested in starting May 2025. Ideal candidates will have a strong background in aquatic ecology and an interest in benthic bioindicators, molecular techniques, and population and community responses to environmental change. Quantitative skills in statistical analysis are desired but can be provided through training programs at the respective institutions. Interested students should send a CV, cover letter expressing interest and relevant skills, as well as a copy of unofficial transcripts to Brie Edwards (bedwards2@laurentian.ca). Please include “CRADLES graduate interest” as the subject line.
