10/25/16: Student search

I am currently looking to hire a highly motivated graduate student who wishes to work in a dynamic research environment and make an impact on the world. Our lab focuses on sustainable energy production, wastewater treatment, and bio-product synthesis through research on algal and bacterial processes. Graduate students would also have opportunities to engage in teaching and share their research with the broader public through outreach activities. Please send me your resume or CV by e-mail if you are interested in applying!
