<p class="gmail-answer gmail-ng-scope gmail-jobdescriptionInJobDetails">The
Geohydrology Section of the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) at the
University of Kansas (KU) invites applications for TWO KGS Applied
Geohydrology Summer Research Assistantship positions for the summer of
2020. The positions are available for upper-level undergraduates, recent
graduates, or graduate students with an interest in the hydrogeology
and biogeochemistry of intermittent streams. Established in 1997,
positions in the KGS summer internship program have been held by
students from diverse institutions across the US and abroad. Many past
participants have co-authored articles or conference presentations based
on the summer work, and students would be encouraged to continue work
on projects as part of an undergraduate or graduate thesis following the
conclusion of the internship if interested.<br> <br>START DATE: Week of May 26, 2020 (flexible based on student schedule)<br><br>SALARY: Salary is $15.00 per hour at 40 hours per week, estimated $7,200 for each full-time 12-week assistantship<br> <br>POSITION
OVERVIEW: This assistantship is a full-time 12-week summer position
during which the individual will work with KGS and KU on a field-based
study of the spatial variability and subsurface controls of groundwater
recharge and nutrient mobilization in intermittent streams.<br> <br>We
expect to hire two student interns who will work together. Likely one
student will have a biogeochemical focus and the other a
hydrogeology/geophysics focus, but both students will gain experience in
all aspects of the project.<br><br>PROJECT SYNOPSIS: The overarching
goal of this project is to understand the influence of intermittent and
ephemeral streams on water quantity and quality in Kansas. Students will
work with KGS scientists and KU professors to quantify the quantity and
variability of groundwater recharge, identify the physical controls on
recharge in dry streams, and quantify the solute load from dry streams
to receiving ecosystems. Participants will gain experience with numerous
field methods including synoptic surveys of physical and biogeochemical
parameters, detailed geophysical surveys, and installation of long-term
monitoring equipment at study sites across Kansas.<br> <br>For further information about the Kansas Geological Survey visit our website: <a href="http://www.kgs.ku.edu/General/jobs.html">http://www.kgs.ku.edu/General/jobs.html</a><br> </p>
