[ES_JOBS_NET] Hydrology of Intermittent Streams: Three Graduate Positions Available

[Zipper, Sam]

The Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS)<https://news.ku.edu/2020/09/18/ambitious-project-spanning-five-states-and-eight-institutions-will-focus-intermittent> team is seeking three graduate students to begin Fall 2021 studying the hydrology and hydrogeology of intermittent streams in the Southeastern Forest, Mountain West, and Great Plains ecosystems. The students will generate new understanding of intermittent stream hydrology across the US, and also provide a hydrological basis for understanding biogeochemical and microbial processes. Therefore, an interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary research is essential for all positions.

These three students will work closely with each other and also with 8 other project graduate students who will be studying biogeochemistry and microbial ecology (full list of AIMS graduate positions here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m6YGdQ0UECpEwRRReC0LfIUPkeB4mWA7aSmPR5OQssk/edit>). All students will take a cross-institutional Team Science and Collaboration course in their first year, receive support for data science instructor training through The Carpentries Foundation, have opportunities to mentor undergraduate research projects, and will work with an amazing team of scientists.
