Announcements
We are looking for new graduate students and summer students to join our group! We have openings for individuals with interests in marine DOM characterization, microbial metabolism and the Arctic carbon cycle. See application information for WHOI Summer Student Fellowship Program, WHOI Minority Fellowship Program, MIT/WHOI Joint Program, and / or WHOI Postdoctoral Scholar Program. Guest student positions are available for qualified undergraduates. Please contact Liz for more information.
