The Ahiablame lab and the Perkins lab at South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD are looking for a motivated MS student to measure soil and hydrological recovery after disturbance (wildfire and severe winter defoliation) in Northern Plains grasslands. Our ideal student would have some soils background as well as an interest in hydrological modeling. Start date is flexible, but could be as early as this summer. This project is funded by USDA-NIFA and the field research will occur at the Cottonwood Range and Livestock Research Station by Philip, South Dakota. For more information, please contact Dr. Perkins at [email protected] or Dr. Ahiablame at [email protected]. For consideration please send 1) a cover letter explaining your interest in this position, 2) transcripts (unofficial are ok), 3) GRE scores (unofficial are ok), and 4) contact info for 3 references to Dr. Perkins by April 15, 2017.
