The project will employ a combination of environmental monitoring, lab-based experimentation and modelling to both measure and enable predictions of the impacts of creosote-treated wood on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The student will gain extensive experience using GC-MS to quantify polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from environmental samples. In addition, the student will be expected to develop a lab-scale leaching test to measure PAH migration rates from creosote-treated commodities. Finally, the student will be expected to develop excel-based predictive models to predict environmental PAH concentrations resulting from the presence of creosote-treated commodities in specific environments. A typical Ph.D. program in this field will run for four successive years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preferred Qualifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Master\u2019s degree in wood science, environmental chemistry, ecological engineering or related field<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exceptional performance in a bachelor\u2019s degree program in the above disciplines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Experience working in an environmental chemistry laboratory<\/li><li>Experience making models in Excel<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact Dr. Gerald Presley for more information and application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>gerald.presley@oregonstate.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notice of Available Ph.D. Position Starting September 2022 The Oregon State University Biodeterioration Laboratory is seeking a Ph.D. student to perform research into the environmental impacts of creosote.
