7. This opportunity has now been filled but thank you for your interest: I’m now looking for an enthusiastic student to join the Echinonerd Lab to work on a funded PhD (or MS) working on sustaining US/international sea food production in the fields of aquaculture and fisheries. The direction of the PhD will depend on the applicant’s interests, but some aspects of the work will include optimizing hatchery rearing methods of commercial sea urchins. The position will start in the Spring semester of 2021 (with potential for some paid work towards the end of 2020 if the applicant is available) in the University of Rhode Island’s Department of Animal, Veterinary and Animal Sciences within the College of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) based within the USA. The work would entail conducting manipulative aquatic trials and physiological work using the Bay Campus aquarium facilities located in Narragansett (RI) and conducting assay work on the nearby main Kingston campus lab facilities. Travel may be required to periodically collect samples from collaborators across the New England region pending on project needs and COVID-19 restrictions. The student must have completed and graduated with an MS in a related topic by the time of starting this position; be currently a resident within the US; and hold a valid driver’s license. The student will ideally have some applied experience in micro-algal and / or benthic diatom cultivation and/or rearing experience of the early life stages of aquatic organisms or other skills which translate well into these areas. Applicants without an MS but with substantial experience in the above will also be considered. Interested students must contact Dr Suckling with a resume to arrange a virtual meeting to discuss the opportunity. Contact should be made by email to coleensuckling@uri.edu. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.  Please visit the University of Rhode Island’s College of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) Graduate program.

6. This opportunity has been filled. I’m now recruiting a Research Assistant I position for a one year post within my research lab (‘The Echinonerd lab’). The post holder will prepare for and run trials which look at 2-3 species of young planktivorous fish responses to global warming. Click here for the official job posting. Deadline is Mar. 2nd 2020.

5. This opportunity has been filled. Exciting Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) available via through RI C-AIM (NSF EPSCoR). If you’re interested in working on microplastic pollution field collections / laboratory & microscopy work & / or aquarium trials then check out my project (ID number 19) from the full list of projects available. Click the link here for details on how to apply. Deadline is Feb. 7th 2020.

4. Are you looking for a Graduate Opportunity & have a strong academic record? I’m considering taking on a student through our competitive TA opportunities to conduct marine microplastic / seafood sustainability / climate change research who is enthusiastic, dedicated & driven with a strong academic record to join my research team. It is essential that all who are interested should send me a CV (include your GPA), & indicate whether you are seeking MS or PhD graduate studies (to: coleensuckling{at}uri.edu) to state your interest & to organize a phone/virtual meeting.

3. This opportunity has been filled. More exciting undergraduate internships available via the University of Rhode Island’s Coastal & Environment Fellows program! Projects won’t be revealed until students are shortlisted to choose projects.  To give you a taster of what’s available, my lab has this project available titled: Do marine invertebrate larvae and microplastics mix well together? Deadline for submissions is Feb. 22nd. Click here to access application details.

Screen Shot 2019-02-02 at 23.17.042. This opportunity has been filled. Exciting funded undergraduate internships available via RI C-AIM (NSF EPSCoR). If you’re interested in gaining highly transferrable skill sets in handling large data & image analysis on the responses of commercially important marine species then check out my project (ID number 35) from the full list of projects available. Click the link here for details on how to apply. Deadline is Feb. 15th.

1. This opportunity has been filled. Internal Call for enthusiastic and reliable University of Rhode Island undergraduate students to apply for two paid technical posts in the latest of our funded research (RI C-AIM (NSF EPSCoR)) on marine climate change.
