Specific thesis/dissertation foci will be determined collaboratively by the student and supervisor, Dr. Kevan Moffett.

Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. College-level calculus, physics, biology background and at least some time at an English-speaking institution of research or higher education.

Enrollment will be on the Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV) campus among the extremely productive, interdisciplinary, and collaborative natural science research cluster. Students will take up residence in Washington State, in or near Vancouver, a fantastic city located in SW Washington, between the coast and the Cascades mountains and just across the Columbia River from vibrant Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Moffett is personally engaging in campus and departmental work toward enhanced equity and inclusion and invites students identifying with historically minoritized groups to inquire about or apply to this position without hesitation.
