4. Graduate Assistantship in Mountain Fire/Forest Ecohydrology
A graduate assistantship is available beginning Fall 2018 in MOUNTAIN FIRE/FOREST ECOHYDROLOGY at Washington State University in Vancouver, for a student interested in a PhD (already with MS) or an MS-PhD dual degree. Exceptional candidates wishing MS only will also be considered.
The core of this research is physical/soil hydrology. The research will address, broadly, plant-water relations and ecohydrologic recovery following forest fire, including aspects of soil science, plant water use, and hillslope/catchment hydrology. Snow, climate, soil hydrology and other related studies are also possible. The qualified candidate is expected to develop their physical hydrology thesis/dissertation research topic based on their own interests within in this general area, in cooperation with supervisor Dr. Kevan Moffett. Required qualifications include: strong physical science and mathematics or engineering background, familiarity with physical hydrology, strong writing and communication skills, research experienced. Desired (but not required) qualifications include: numerical modeling experience, programming experience, GIS skills, independent field research experience, some exposure to plant biology and/or aquatic biogeochemistry and/or soil physics and/or remote sensing analysis.

5. Graduate Assistantship in Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Research
We are seeking a motivated student to pursue a Ph.D. (although exceptional M.S. applicants will also be considered) at Washington State University, Vancouver, as part of a university-funded effort to support research on urban stormwater and green infrastructure (https://provost.wsu.edu/grand-challenge-projects/). RA funding is available for this position. The successful applicant will be expected to take on a research project focused on improving understanding of urban stormwater and green infrastructure systems. Possibilities for research foci include: the hydrology and/or biogeochemistry of urban runoff, linking urban stormwater dynamics to climate change, and understanding landscape scale potential for green infrastructure to improve water quality, among others. WSU has unique facilities for studying urban stormwater dynamics, including access to the Washington State Stormwater Research Center located on the WSU Puyallup campus. There are several potential mentors at WSU Vancouver; for more information see our faculty website:https://directory.vancouver.wsu.edu/environment. If interested, please inquire immediately withkevan.moffett@wsu.eduandjohn_harrison@wsu.eduand attach CV including GPA and GRE scores.
