A MS position is available in the Neeson lab at the University of Oklahoma, beginning January 2017. The student will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers examining the growth of road networks through time in Oklahoma, the effects of roads on ecosystems, and the role of the natural environment in determining patterns of road network growth. We welcome applications from students with an interdisciplinary background, and there is considerable room for the student to determine the direction of the project. Strong candidates will have experience in GIS, programming or statistics, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate within an interdisciplinary team. The student will be supported with a teaching assistantship (stipend, tuition waiver and benefits) and based in the Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability at OU, a growing department with five faculty hires in the last three years. To learn more about our lab, visit http://neesonlab.oucreate.com. To apply, send a single PDF with CV, unofficial transcripts and GRE scores, a brief statement of research interests and goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Thomas Neeson (nee...@ou.edu). Please apply by Oct. 15 for full consideration.
