Environmental Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, seeks applications from two doctoral (PhD) students for upcoming water quality research projects. Two positions focusing on steroid hormone fate and transport have been fully funded by recent USDA Water and Watersheds program grants, and these studies will start between Nov 1, 2009, and Jan 1, 2010. Desirable skill sets for the candidates include knowledge of environmental chemistry, contaminant fate and transport, GC/MS/MS analytical chemistry, biodegradation, and the effect of redox conditions on contaminant degradation. Our Environmental Engineering program at UNR is a dynamic and growing program, and we are located in one of the most beautiful areas in the western US, with a wide variety of superb outdoor recreation opportunities available. If interested, please contact Dr. Edward Kolodziej (koloj@unr.edu).
