New opportunities for Prospective students and post-docs

At UQAM’s Department of Biological Sciences, our research environment is both dynamic and highly collaborative. Our group includes 11 aquatic ecologists (GRIL-UQAM – Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Limnologie), offering exceptional opportunities for innovative work in evolutionary, community, and microbial ecology, as well as in biogeochemistry and landscape ecology within the aquatic sciences.

If you are interested in joining my research group, I recommend starting by reading some of my recent publications in the areas that interest you (see Research and Publications). You may also want to explore the summaries of our current projects (see People) to get a sense of ongoing work in the lab. After considering how your interests align with mine, feel free to email me so we can discuss potential opportunities. Please include a CV and a transcript (an unofficial copy is fine at this stage).

Prospective graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are strongly encouraged to apply for relevant scholarships and fellowships.

PhD Opportunities

‼️ PhD Opportunities – carbon dynamics in wetlands in Québec! ‼️

I am recruiting two motivated PhD students to join the CARCLIQUE Research Chair and work on cutting-edge projects focused on the carbon cycle and hydrology of Québec’s wetlands — from forested peatlands in the south to the Arctic landscapes of Nunavik.

If you are passionate about ecosystems, climate change, fieldwork, and the carbon cycle, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to research with real-world impact.

Québec has an incredible diversity of natural wetlands!

✅ Fieldwork + laboratory work

✅ Wetlands, carbon fluxes, hydrology, microbiology

✅ Work in exceptional landscapes (including Nunavik!)
