Department of Geography, University of Georgia, Athens, invites applications for two M.S.
level research assistantships (RA) in remote sensing beginning Fall 2015. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply to the Master's Degree program in
Geography at UGA as soon as possible.
The first RA position is part of an ongoing partnership between the J.W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway, Newton, Georgia and the UGA Grad School. The successful applicant will
work on a project on "Mapping macrophyte distribution in Lake Seminole using multi-spectral multi-platform sensing devices". We would like for the student to be in residence at the Center for the 'research' portion of the project, generally the second year.
In addition to an assistantship, the student will be provided with free on-site housing, summer support, laboratory support (including trucks and boats), and a small 'grant' to pay for supplies and travel to meetings.
The second RA position is part of a USDA NNF fellowship on a project entitled "understanding and managing the risk from cyanobacteria toxicity in farm ponds due to land management and climate
interactions". The student is expected to develop an integrative approach using watershed modeling, land use/land cover mapping, and spectral modeling to understand how watershed management activities might drive cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms in Georgia
inland waters.
Assistantships include 2 years of support through the Department of Geography, UGA. Interested candidate may apply online at http://grad.uga.edu/index.php/prospective-students/domestic-application-information/requirements/application-forms/ by
February 1, 2015. In case of any questions, please contact Dr. Deepak Mishra ([log in to unmask]) (Tel: 706-542-8927), Department of Geography, UGA.
