The Departments of Botany and Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Wyoming seek motivated applicants for a competitively funded graduate student position. The position can either be at the MS or PhD level. The successful candidate will join a watershed ecohydrology team led by Drs. Fabian Nippgen, Ginger Paige, and David Williams working on a new NSF EPSCoR project aimed at addressing the ecological and socioeconomic consequences of climate driven changes to water supply in a key region in northwestern Wyoming.
The open position will focus on snow observations in the headwaters of the Columbia, Colorado, and Missouri River Basins in northwestern Wyoming. The position entails close collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and the USDA Agricultural Research Service and includes employing a suite of snowpack observation techniques (among others, snowtography installations) and analyses of snowpack dynamics at the plot, stand, and landscape scale (MS). At the PhD level, the work would also entail process-based snow modeling. The snow observations will further be used to validate climate datasets currently in development.
