Job Description
The Ruyle lab at New York University is recruiting a PhD student beginning Fall 2025 in aquatic contaminant biogeochemistry.
The PhD student will have flexibility in their research and will work with me to design their own projects within our lab’s general interests. Potential research projects could include: fate and transport of PFAS discharged from major point sources, chemical transformations of pharmaceuticals in the environment, and impacts of climate change on subsurface contaminant dynamics. Initial research will likely have a strong emphasis on laboratory analyses using tools in my lab such as liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Research can also involve field work, experiments, and modeling. The student will be expected to design and execute research projects, interpret data, and communicate results in written form for their dissertation and peer-reviewed publications.
Interested candidates should reach out to me at b.ruyle@nyu.edu to arrange a conversation prior to NYU’s application deadline on December 1, 2024. In your email, please include your CV and a brief summary of your interests related to my lab’s research.
Minimum qualifications:
- Students can come from diverse academic backgrounds but will be expected be able to meet the coursework requirements for the degree
- NYU requires GRE scores for program admission
- A reasonable background in chemistry and math
Desired qualifications:
- Previous research experience conducting laboratory analyses
- Passion for science aimed to protect public health
- Experience in Python or similar languages
