[ES_JOBS_NET] Univ of Arkansas - funded MS position geomorphology - Fall 2022 start date

[Jill A. Marshall]

Hello!
I am looking for an MS student for a Fall 2022 start (After the usual application period.) So, if you (or someone you know) were considering grad school but didn't apply, or applied and didn't find a good fit, please see below.

The project is located on Arkansas's free-flowing Buffalo River (America's first National River<https://www.nps.gov/buff/index.htm>). This is a collaborative project with Abby Langston, KSU, and her students, where together we are looking at how the persistence of river-bounding talus piles may control rates of valley widening.

The fully funded NSF research is directed towards understanding rock property controls on the size and/or volume of material generated from cliffs bordering the river.

The research involves a fair amount of floating the river and characterizing fracture patterns along with other rock properties. So, prospective students should be comfortable with doing work on a river, as well as interested in collaborative science. I am more than happy to train students on river safety and doing river-based field work. Students will always be working in teams when on the water.

Potential students interested in this position - please reach out via email<mailto:jillm at uark.edu>. Please include a CV and a statement of research interests/skills specific to the project.

The Marshalling Science Lab group is a diverse and open community that welcomes all. I encourage those from non-traditional backgrounds and underrepresented communities to consider applying.

Science on!

I acknowledge that the University of Arkansas, occupies land with an indigenous history going back at least 13 thousand years. Indigenous peoples with ties to NW Arkansas were forced to leave their ancestral lands, including the Osage, Caddo and Quapaw Nations. A portion of the Trail of Tears runs through our campus, and the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw and Seminole Nations passed through Arkansas during this shameful forced removal. I welcome any opportunity to do more than this inadequate land acknowledgement  and I'll continue to educate myself to reduce the burden on anyone else.
