Two federal funded projects are available to support the students’ endeavors. One NSF funded project is on the effects of non-rainfall water input on plant-soil water interactions in drylands with fieldwork in Namibia. Another project investigates the drought effects on forest water use (USDA-funded) with fieldwork in Indiana. The positions are available from Fall 2017, and will be supported through research and teaching assistantships that provide a competitive stipend, tuition remission and health insurance. The student(s) will be advised by Dr. Lixin Wang (http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/~lxwang). Applicants must hold a BS degree in earth sciences, hydrology, soil science, environmental sciences or related disciplines, and have strong oral and written communication skills. Stable isotope background is preferred for both positions. IUPUI is Indiana’s premier urban public research university, currently enrolling more than 30,000 students. In 2011, IUPUI was ranked 3rd by U.S. News and World Report in “Up-and-Coming National Universities”. Indianapolis is a very livable city with a wealth of outdoor, cultural, and sporting activities. The department of Earth Sciences has a wide variety of analytical facilities including LGR and Picarro water isotope analyzers, IRMS facility for 13C, 15N and 34S measurements, CN analyzer, and wet chemistry laboratories equipped for soil, water and plant analysis. To apply, please send a copy of your application materials (statement of interest, resume, unofficial transcripts, GRE score, TOEFL score if applicable, and contact information of three referees) to Dr. Lixin Wang ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the positions are filled. ********************************** Lixin Wang Assistant Professor Editor: Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Associate Editor: Journal of Arid Environments Department of Earth Sciences Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) 723 W Michigan St, SL 118M Indianapolis IN 46202 Office Tel: 317-274-7764 Fax: 317-274-7966 http://earthsciences.iupui.edu/~lxwang **********************************
