Great Lakes Research Investigator Program

School of Natural Resources & Environment

University of Michigan



The University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources & Environment, with 
NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and the USGS Great 
Lakes Science Center, is seeking qualified candidates for two-year Joint 
Research Investigator positions the following areas.  Renewal for second 
two-year appointments are possible provided satisfactory performance and 
proposal writing success.

Environmental Toxicologist Studies of the potential effects of 
cyanobacterial toxins on
human health and food-webs

Beach Bacterial Contamination Studies of interactions of 
hydro-meteorological and ambient conditions with indicator bacteria, such as 
E. coli or enterococciWatershed Hydrology Spatially explicit models for 
watershed and open lake forecasts of water and material (nutrients, 
sediment, pollutants, etc) movement

Statistical Modeling and Forecasting Use of large spatial and temporal 
databases for statistically forecasting Great Lakes conditions (e.g. algal 
blooms, beach closings, physical hazards, fish recruitment, water quality)

Fish thiamine deficiency Identification of trophic pathways associated with 
Thiamine Deficiency Complex in Great Lakes salmonids and characterization of 
fish diets using fatty acid profile analysis.

Ecological Toxicology Studies to model and assess impacts of toxicants at 
the individual, population, and ecological levels of the Great Lakes

Near-shore Coastal Hydrodynamics and Particle Transport Studies of how 
hydrodynamic processes in the near shore zone affect the transport of 
dissolved and suspended materials for the purpose of operational predictions 
of near shore water quality

Coastal Observation Apply real-time buoy-deployed chemical, biological, 
physical sensors and remote sensing to study and forecast Great Lakes 
environmental processes.

Fish Ecology Study the distribution, habitats, feeding ecology and 
bioenergetics of fishes in the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay using 
underwater acoustics and spatial bioenergetics modeling
