Graduate Research Assistantship in Hydrology and Biogeochemistry The Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech is seeking applicants for a PhD-level graduate research assistantship with an expected start date of fall 2014 or spring 2015.
This interdisciplinary research project is focused on simultaneously quantifying soil and hydrologic controls over nitrogen transport on hillslopes at the USDA Forest Service Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory. The project will combine field and laboratory experiments with transport modeling in order to better predict solute export from forested watersheds. Research assistantships include a full tuition waiver, benefits, and a competitive annual stipend including summer support (~$23,000).
