<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri">We are looking
for a graduate student (preferably MS, but PhD considered) who will work
on a two-year multi-location, multi-disciplinary team project using
legged robots to move environmental sensors
around artificial and natural landscapes. The project is focused on
gaining a greater understanding of aeolian (wind erosion and deposition)
processes in heterogeneous arid and semi-arid environments. The
successful candidate should have a working understanding
of the earth and enjoy working with computers and data collection
interfaces in an outdoor setting. Much of the field work will be in the
Lubbock, Texas area, but two trips per year will be made to the
USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range in southern New Mexico.
Additional travel may be necessary for training and project
coordination. The student will pursue a degree in Geology or Geography
at Texas Tech University. Start date is January 2016.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri">
