Job Details
The Nelson Research Group is searching for a highly motivated student with interests in agricultural sustainability to contribute to a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary project studying how landscape simplification affects ecosystem health and agricultural productivity. The successful applicant will be admitted to the Department of Geography and Geospatial Sciences graduate program in geography at Kansas State University.
This project will examine agricultural systems across the United States to identify potential benefits of, and barriers to, landscape diversification. Candidates should have a background in geography, engineering, environmental science, agricultural science, or a related field. Strong candidates will have experience with statistics, GIS, or programming (eg. Python or R). The successful applicant will be expected to collaborate with the project team to conduct statistical modeling, conduct field interviews, and present and publish research results.
A competitive graduate research assistantship, including annual stipend, tuition, and benefits will be provided. To apply, please email a cover letter describing your experience, qualification, and interest in the position and a CV to Katherine Nelson (ksnelson@ksu.edu). Additional inquiries via email are welcome.
