We are recruiting for a fully-funded PhD student at the University of Idaho
to study ecology and natural climate solutions. We are a diverse team
spanning ecologists, economists, and sociologists with specific interest in
studying climate-smart land management. Our team is implementing natural
climate solutions in Inland Northwest forests and agricultural fields to
study the ecological benefits, the economic impacts, and the sociological
barriers to implementation. We are recruiting a PhD student to work on the
ecosystem impacts portion of this project, particularly the integration of
field measurements with ecosystem/biogeochemical modeling. The PhD student
will work with the team to plan measurements and experiments that will
directly inform model parameterization and evaluation. We encourage
applicants with field work experience and with an interest in
biogeochemical modeling. The graduate research assistantship will provide a
tuition waiver, health insurance, and a competitive stipend.
