A PhD position is available in the Neeson lab (http://neesonlab.oucreate.com) at the University of Oklahoma, beginning August 2018. 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, 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. 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 Jan. 10 for full consideration.
