Applications are invited for MS and PhD assistantships within the Environmental 
Systems Graduate 
Group at University of California, Merced.  The Environmental Systems Graduate 
Program trains 
students to tackle the most challenging problems facing our planet – water, 
soil, climate, energy and 
resources.  Through understanding the Earth as an integrated system of 
atmosphere, hydrosphere, 
lithosphere and biosphere that intersects human society, ES students are 
uniquely poised to address 
critical research needs of the environment and its sustainability. Graduates 
are prepared for careers in 
academia, research, government, and industry that integrate expertise from 
across engineering, 
natural sciences and social sciences.

Environmental Systems faculty are affiliated with the schools of Engineering, 
Natural Sciences, and 
Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.  For complete details see our website 
(es.ucmerced.edu).  
Applicants are encouraged to communicate with prospective advisors
