The research group in environmental biogeochemistry, at the University
of Montreal, conducts research projects leading to a better
understanding of the fate of contaminants in ecosystems at the interface
between different systems. Doctoral and postdoctoral projects are
currently available in the field of Aquatic Biogeochemistry of Metals.
The main study sites are located in the Canadian Arctic, subarctic and
temperate areas, and include arctic and temperate snowpacks, arctic
thermokarst systems and temperate lakes.
The available projects focus mainly on:
1) The photochemical processes affecting redox states of metals in water
and snow
2) The relationships between redox chemistry and metal bioavailability
towards bacteria
3) The role of biogenic thiols on metal complexation
4) Factors affecting mercury biomagnification along northern food webs.
To apply, please send a one-page statement of interest, including a
short description of qualifications, a CV, unofficial copies of diplomas
and transcripts, and a list of all publications by Friday, 13 June 2008,
