University Indianapolis (IUPUI) seeks multiple motivated students interested in
pursuing a MS or PhD (Applied Earth Sciences) degree in the Department of Earth
Sciences. Two federal funded projects are available to support the students’
endeavors. One NSF funded project is on the effects of non-rainfall water input
on plant-soil water interactions in drylands with fieldwork in Namibia. Another
project investigates the buffering effect of no-till agriculture on crop yield,
nutrient use efficiency, and leaching potential under drought conditions (USDA-funded).
The positions are available from August 2016, and </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">will be supported through research and teaching assistantships that </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">provide a competitive stipend, tuition remission and health insurance. The
student(s) will be advised by Dr. Lixin Wang (</span><a href="http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/~lxwang"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/~lxwang</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">). The USDA project supported student will be co-advised by Dr. Pierre-André
Jacinthe and will work in close
collaboration with the Remote Sensing group led by Dr. Lin Li. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:black">Applicants must hold a BS degree in earth sciences, hydrology, soil
science, environmental sciences or related disciplines, and have strong oral
and written communication skills. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"></span></p>
