[ES_JOBS_NET] Graduate Research Fellowship on agroforestry systems at University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa

[Leah Bremer]

Aloha Kākou,

Opportunity available for a fully funded Seagrant graduate student
assistantship (2020-2022), including stipend and tuition waiver on an
exciting project on agroforestry systems, carbon storage, and marine health
in Hawaiʻi. Position is open to a Masters or PhD student in Botany,
Geography, or the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Management (NREM) (or other relevant department) either currently enrolled
or applying for enrollment to start in Fall 2020. Position can start
anytime after February 2020, with a likely start date June 2020 or
September 2020. *Those not in a current degree program should apply by the
fall deadlines for Botany, NREM, Geography, or related field. *


The GRA will be part of a collaborative and inter-disciplinary team of
community-based non-profits, faculty, and students from the Water Resources
Research Center, the University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization,
Department of Botany, NREM, the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB),
the Biocultural Initiative of the Pacific, UH Seagrant, the Heʻeia National
Estuarine Research Reserve, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi, and others to evaluate the
potential for agroforestry systems to sequester carbon, protect coral
reefs, and support biodiversity and cultural values in Hawaiʻi. Activities
will include: GIS analysis and spatial modeling of scenarios of
agroforestry throughout the State of Hawaiʻi; ecosystem service modeling of
carbon storage and land-sea linkages; field data collection at an existing
agroforestry restoration project; community work days to support project
management. Ideally, the GRA will develop an independent project in line
with overall project goals. Project PIs are Leah Bremer, Tamara Ticktin,
Clay Trauernicht, and Kawika Winter.


*We will begin reviewing applications on December 15th, but position will
be open until filled. *
