Two Ecohydrology Research Assistantships at Arizona
State University
in Tempe, AZ.
Two
M.S./Ph.D. assistantships in hydrology/water
resources are available starting in the Spring or Fall 2010. The
assistantships
can be either in the School of Sustainable
Engineering
and the Built Environment or the School of Earth and Space
Exploration. The two projects will focus on:
(1) Ecohydrology of grassland-shrubland transitions to identify
controls of
hydrologic connectivity at multiple scales; and (2) Seasonality effects
on the
ecohydrology of the North American monsoon region at the catchment to
regional
scale. Each assistantship will require data collection, numerical
modeling and
data synthesis efforts in field sites in Arizona, New Mexico or
Sonora, Mexico. Preference
will be given to highly-motivated Ph.D. students
with strong quantitative skills. For inquiries, contact Prof. Enrique
R. Vivoni
