Job Title: PhD position - Fish acid-base physiology

Location: Washington State University (Pullman campus)

Job Type: Graduate Student

Description: The Shartau Lab investigates the physiological responses of animals to environmental change and stressors, and is particularly interested in the role of acid-base regulation in these responses. The lab integrates approaches at the molecular, cellular, and whole animal level, as well as field-based research to gain mechanistic insights into physiological function at the organismal level. The expected focus of the PhD project would be to characterize the response of fish to high CO2. The lab will be housed in the newly renovated biology building and has aquatic space in the Aquatic Phenomics Center and the Carver Fish Hatchery. Graduate support includes 12 months of salary (~$30k) as well as tuition and health insurance coverage. Pullman is located in southeastern Washington State, offering numerous year-round outdoor opportunities and is approximately 90 minutes from Spokane and 4.5 hours from Seattle.
