About us
We are recruiting 5 graduate or undergraduate students for a National Science Foundation-funded project (International Research Experiences for Students) to study transmission losses in ephemeral streams in Morocco. The program includes:
-Virtual training in techniques in hydrology, remote sensing, GIS, and hydrologic modeling (online, March-April).
-1 week virtual technical and cultural training workshop (online, May).
-5 week field project with U.S. and Moroccan researchers in Morocco (May-July).
-Virtual training in professional practice, scientific communication, and community outreach (online, September-December).
-Travel expenses will be covered and a $3,000 stipend will be paid upon completion.
Ideal applicants will have a background in geology or a related discipline (for example, agricultural engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, environmental science, geography, or soil science). Previous coursework in hydrology, hydrogeology, remote sensing, or GIS and previous research experience are helpful but not mandatory. The ability to work in teams and openness to different cultures are advantages. Members of underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in a U.S. degree program through December. Students who graduate and enter a new program are eligible.
