This looks interesting. You'll pick up a PhD from U. of Delaware but work out of Duluth on earthworms. I've been to the U. of Delaware. Mascots is the "mighty" blue hen. I could think of worse...

Subject: re: Earthworm research & education opportunities
Greetings from the Snowy Northland! It's hard to think about worms when there is 3 feet of snow and sub zero temps but none the less...Best Wishes to to you all in this holiday season and the new year. I'll be out Dec. 24th- Jan4th but back after that to field questions etc.
In addition to the opportunity listed below, I have 2 other positions (one research and one citizen science/education), based in Duluth, MN that we expect to post this spring some time. I'll let you know when I know more, but if you have students who might be interested, have them contact me directly.
I and two colleagues are searching for 2 PhD students to join our USDA funded project “Acceleration of inorganic nutrient release and mineral- organic matter association by biophysical soil mixing along an earthworm invasion chronosequence.” This project will quantitatively couple the ecology of earthworm invasion in the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota with two major biogeochemical processes: mineral weathering and carbon cycling. For more information, visit http://udel.edu/~kyoo/worm.html . Accepted students will be mentored by an interdisciplinary team of scientists - Kyungsoo Yoo at University of Delaware, Anthony Aufdenkampe at UD and Stroud Water Research Center, and Cindy Hale at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Degrees will be granted by the University of Delaware’s Dept. of Plant and Soil Sciences, with coursework customized from extensive offerings throughout UDel. We seek students to start summer-fall 2009. We encourage interested students to email Yoo ( kyoo@xxxxxxxx ) and Aufdenkampe ( aufdenkampe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) for details.
Interested students should electronically submit a letter of application, statement of research interest, transcripts, GRE and TOEFL scores, and three letters of references to:
