PhD Assistantship in soil rare earth element biogeochemistry
Submitted by AaronT on Fri, 10/28/2022 - 10:26We are recruiting a PhD student to study biological exudates that solubilize rare earth elements (REYs) from soils. Only recently have microbes been identified that require REYs for growth and survival. This NSF-funded project investigates potential organic exudates that microbes might use to obtain REYs from soil environments.
