The student will be admitted through the Geosciences Department at Boise
State University. This position is fully funded and includes summer
support. The Bergstrom lab, and this project in particular, is
interdisciplinary and we encourage students across backgrounds (geology,
engineering, natural resources) to apply. The candidate should be
self-motivated and have a strong desire to learn and work outside their
traditional area of expertise. We are committed to increasing participation
of underrepresented groups in science and encourage candidates of diverse
backgrounds to apply.
