Research Position available in Hydro-biogeochemistry Group

Posted on November 29, 2017 by CEE Advising

The Neumann Lab is seeking a research assistant to participate in an exciting project investigating the fine-scale dynamics of methylmercury production in soil surrounding rice roots (i.e., the rice rhizosphere). Methylmercury (MeHg) is a bioaccumulative and neurotoxic chemical. Methylmercury production in the rhizosphere affects MeHg concentrations in rice grain, and thus impacts human health. The goal of the project is to gain knowledge needed to inform agricultural strategies that minimize MeHg contamination of rice grain.

Help with Writing

Writing Circles for Long-Term Projects

For many, working on a long-term project can be an unfamiliar, isolating, and daunting process. So, we are proud to open a shared space, once a week on Fridays, 12:30-3pm at the Research Commons (Green A), for students with the primary goal of writing and sharing strategies together. We welcome projects such as dissertations, Master’s theses, research proposals, journal articles, and creative writing.

This space will be facilitated by OWRC graduate tutors; at the start of each session we will set individual writing goals and, at the end, we will check-in to debrief about the day’s writing process and set goals for the week. Secondary goals will be generated with participants and there will be a graduate tutor available to discuss writing strategies. Regular participation is strongly encouraged, but you are free to drop-in.

If you any questions contact Ben Hole (bvhole@uw.edu) or Yasi Naraghi (cyasin@uw.edu)
