We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (PDRA) in Freshwater Ecosystem Ecology researching the role of organic matter as a nutrient resource in freshwater ecosystems. A 4.5 year role with great training opportunites in isotope ecology and mesocosm experimental science www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLU610/p...

Deadline for applications is 28 February 2025. Do get in touch if you have any questions.

In addition to the 3 x 4-yr PhD studentships and 4.5-yr Senior Research Associate in Biogeochemistry recently advertised, I am pleased to announce we now have a 3.5 year role now open for a Specialist Technician in Biogeochemistry in the same team. 🧪🌿🐌🐟 www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

www.jobs.ac.uk/search/?keyw... @pennyjohnes.bsky.social is hiring a Senior Research Associate in Biogeochemistry to work on a ERC Advanced Grant to work on metabolic pathways controlling nutrient and dissolved organic matter uptake in freshwaters (4.5 years) #biogeochemistry #aquatic #freshwater

Exciting opportunity for a Senior Research Associate in Biogeochemistry to work on my ERC REFRESH Advanced Grant. This is a 4.5 yr role, where we will be exploring the metabolic pathways controlling nutrient and dissolved organic matter uptake in freshwater ecosystems. 🧪🐌🐟🌿https://shorturl.at/UY9Kc

We have three 4-year UKRI PhD studentships now available under the ERC REFRESH programme Researching the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) as a nutrient resource in freshwater systems. Do get in touch via the links if you have an questions! Details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/program... 🧪

Following the examples of @katharinehayhoe.com and @drsturobinson.bsky.social I've created my Bluesky Roast. Freshwater Whisperer of Bluesky! blueskyroast.com/roast/pennyj... Though 'The Real You' description is probably the most accurate, especially the last of my secret powers...

Following a tip from @mattmacleod.bsky.social I've migrated c.25% of my old X posts over here, including some with links to past meetings/jobs/PhDs in my group. These won't be active. I will be posting new opportunities for 3 PDRAs, 2 Techs and 3 PhDs soon, here, on jobs.ac.uk and FindaPhD.com! 🧪

A massive review of water regulation is England and Wales is underway. But nationalisation won’t be considered, confirms Ivy Manning, team leader at the secretariat for the commission leading the review. Says that was agreed by commission chair Sir Jon Cunliffe and env sec Steve Reed.

Fascinating discussion and closing session on Day 2 of the Yusuf Hamied Workshop for India and UK @royalsociety.bsky.social. Much food for thought!

Come and work with me in Bristol and beyond on glacier microbes, carbon fluxes, ice sheet hydrology or natural flood management solutions: a fab crop of PhD projects with lovely collaborators www.bristol.ac.uk/geography/co... or www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/... or www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

Great first session at the Yusuf Hamied workshop for India and UK @royalsociety.bsky.social with Prof Renee Borges, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and Prof Paul Bates of University of Bristol.🧪

The starter packs in STEM are becoming more specialist. The starter packs in STEM are becoming more men-only*. ▶️Starter pack makers - be careful what you curate. ▶️Starter pack followers - be careful what your feed looks like, and curate you follow. *At least >90 male-presenting. 🧪

This is me via skircle.me. A great way to while away a much delayed train journey into London for @royalsociety.bsky.social Yusuf Hamied workshop for India and UK. Spent most of my time trying to remember by bsky handle.....before eventually remembering it is on my home page (🙃) 🧪

🦋 With help from Scholar Goggler scholargoggler.com this is me!🧪

We need stories, as well as science... go.bsky.app/FGyWn2r

Save the date and apply earlier for the GRC catchment science conference, 22-27 June, and the early career GRS seminar. The best conference for wonderful invited talks, networking, field trips and activities! Happy to answer any Q's about the conference.
