The Rooney Lab is recruiting a PhD student to work on a manipulative experiment on the fate and effects of microplastics in freshwater lakes at the renowned Experimental Lakes Area (https://www.iisd.org/ela/). The student will measure the dose-response of the biofilm (a.k.a. periphyton) community metabolism and community composition to the addition of microplastics in a series of 12 aquatic mesocoms.
