Position Summary Information


Job Description Summary:
The Goldsmith Environmental Geochemistry Lab at the Department of Geography at Villanova University has a fully funded opportunity for a graduate student to participate in a collaborative project that will include municipalities and watershed-focused NGOs. The two-year project will evaluate impacts of alternative road deicing practices on water quality in urban headwater streams.
We seek a student who is excited to engage in a novel interdisciplinary project that will culminate in a M.S. degree in Environmental Science. In particular, the student will assist in the installation of wireless water quality stations, and the collection and analysis of water quality samples and discharge measurements. Possession of a driver’s license and a willingness to work outdoors is a requirement. Experience with DIY sensors is a plus, though not required. A willingness to coordinate with project partners and/or interest in translating technical and scientific information to disseminate with project partners to influence decision-making is also desired.
Student background may include degrees from relevant backgrounds, including but not limited to chemistry, environmental science, and earth sciences. We welcome and encourage applicants from groups historically underrepresented in STEM and Earth Sciences. We also encourage applications from those with prior academic and/or work experiences related to water quality. The fully-funded student position (stipend + tuition waiver) is available starting January 2024. More information regarding the M.S. Program in Environmental Science, including the application process, can be found here. Please contact Dr. Steven Goldsmith ([email protected] ) for more information about the available position and/or to set-up an informal remote interview.
