Funded Graduate Opportunity in Geography - Starting Fall 2024

Please circulate this opportunity among students who might be interested in pursuing graduate degree in Geography. PhD preferred, but excellent Master's students may also be considered.


A graduate student is being sought to join the Department of Geography and Geospatial Sciences at Kansas State University to assist on an NSF funded project focusing on the development and expansion of technology into controlled burning practices in grasslands.

The student's work on the project will focus on generating data to examine how the use of technology (e.g. drones, controlled fire simulation etc) shapes perceptions of a landscape and practices of prescribed fire use. The student will also provide support for community outreach activities and educational events focused on prescribed burning.

The graduate research assistantship includes up to three years of full funding beginning in Fall 2024, with additional funding opportunities (GTA or RA) available pending satisfactory progress.
