Recruiting for competitive PhD fellowship (Fall 2025) in soil C biogeochemistry

I am currently seeking applicants for a competitive Ph.D. fellowship in the Department of Earth & Environmental Science. A range of potential projects are possible, centering on soil carbon biogeochemistry, including quantification and characterization of the persistent pools of pyrogenic and geogenic carbon in dark/black soils, examination of potential upper limits to soil carbon stabilization, and the energetics of soil organic matter cycling and persistence. Positions are ideal for candidates who have completed an MSc in soil science, geosciences, environmental chemistry, ecosystem science or related fields, but outstanding BSc graduates in such programs will be considered. Applications can be submitted directly online (https://www.applyweb.com/upenng/).

Welcome

Welcome to our new home on the web. After our Department shuttered its old HTML website and went with a new Drupal based site, I was determined to build something equally compelling for my own lab group. It wasn’t until Penn School of Arts and Science provided its own WordPress platform that I felt I was finally able to make the website of my dreams. Stay tuned for lots of exciting new developments.
