A large collaborative proposal on which I am lead PI just got the green light from the National Science Foundation. The project will examine the effects of temperature on organic carbon processing in forest stream networks, using a multi-scale design that includes a paired-catchment whole-stream warming experiment, an array of warmed streamside channels, laboratory studies of aquatic microbes, and reach- and network-scale modeling. The fieldwork will take place at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, North Carolina. I'm very excited about this project and now need to find a PhD student for my lab's component of the research, starting in 2017, who will study responses of the invertebrate community and food web in the whole-stream warming experiment (see the full ad on the SFS website). The ideal candidate would combine a genuine interest and background in both entomology (Coweeta's stream communities are particularly species-rich) and experimental ecosystem ecology. If this sounds like your kind of project, please take a look at the Prospective Students page and get in touch.
