Ph.D. Assistantships in Watershed Modeling at WSU Vancouver
The Global Change and Watershed Biogeochemistry research group at Washington State University, Vancouver (http://research.vancouver.wsu.edu/gcwblab) seeks motivated, independent Ph.D. students to develop and apply an aquatic biogeochemistry component of a regional Earth Systems Model (http://www.cereo.wsu.edu/bioearth/). Prospective students should have a strong background in the physical sciences (including at least a year of undergraduate chemistry), an interest in environmental modeling, and a dedication to research that improves understanding and management of aquatic and land-based resources. Funding is available to support the successful candidate(s) and, all teaching and research assistantships include tuition waivers as part of their stipends. Admission requirements for WSU's degrees in Environmental Science and Geology are available at the following websites (<http://www.sees.wsu.edu/GraduateStudies/ESRP/phd.html>http://www.sees.wsu.edu/GraduateStudies/ESRP/phd.html or <http://www.sees.wsu.edu/GraduateStudies/Geology/phd.html>http://www.sees.wsu.edu/GraduateStudies/Geology/phd.html), and application materials and instructions for the WSU Vancouver program are available at (<http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/sci/mses.html>http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/sci/mses.html). Despite the focus on MS degrees on the WSU Vancouver website, Ph.D. degrees are offered at WSU Vancouver, and more information on the application process can be found at (<http://science.vancouver.wsu.edu/additional-instructions-applicants>http://science.vancouver.wsu.edu/additional-instructions-applicants). Interested parties should either apply directly to WSU Vancouver or contact John Harrison ( <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]) for additional information.
WSU Vancouver is located in Washington across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, and is close to the Cascades, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean, and thus offers great opportunities for research, a variety of neighboring institutions and agencies for collaboration, and an excellent quality of life. Degree programs are offered across all WSU campuses and students in Vancouver may participate in activities in Pullman. To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 10, 2012.
