We currently have multiple graduate research positions, as well as technician positions open.  Please visit the opportunities page.

Groups of 6th graders recently visited the AEL to learn about aquatic food webs. Please visit the News page for more info and photographs of the visit.

What is the Aquatic Ecology Laboratory?

The name “Aquatic Ecology Laboratory” at OSU has two different contexts:

• The Aquatic Ecology Laboratory denotes the physical space shared by faculty, postdocs, students, and staff and the research and outreach that takes place there.
   
• The Aquatic Ecology Laboratory also refers to the Research Partnership between the Ohio Division of Wildlife and OSU aquatic ecology researchers (those physically located at the Aquatic Ecology Laboratory as well as those in other labs on campus).
