Hi everyone,

 

I'm recruiting an MS student to work with me as a Research Assistant starting in Fall 2023. This student will join a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary research team investigating the nexus between climate-induced heat extremes, health, and migration in southern coastal Chiapas, Mexico. Successful applicants will have an interest in critical geography theoretical frameworks, a strong background in the qualitative social sciences, and at least a working knowledge of Spanish as well as the ability to travel internationally. The successful applicant will assist me with ethnographic and mixed-methods data collection in southern Mexico, data analysis, and the dissemination of results. Graduate Research Assistants are paid a stipend of $14,000 per academic year in our department, with opportunities for summer funding.

 

Our graduate students join an active and collegial community in which they work closely with faculty to develop a program that is tailored to their own interests. The MS in Geography curriculum spans social justice, globalization, geographic information systems, atmospheric science, and community and regional planning. Additional details about the degree can be found here.

 

The priority deadline to apply is February 15^th. 

 

Interested applicants are encouraged to send a brief letter of interest and a copy of their CV or resumé via email to Dr. Beth Bee ([log in to unmask]) prior to applying to the ECU graduate school.

 

Of course, we also have funding for a range of interests to work with other faculty so please check out our faculty pages and reach out directly to faculty to inquire about opportunities!
