Paleoecology Research Assistantship available University of Nevada, Reno

I am seeking a graduate student to work on an NSF funded project

reconstructing the paleoecology of an extended drought period in the Great

Basin. I have three years of guaranteed RA funding that can be followed

with teaching assistantship funding. PhD student applicants are preferred

but MS students are welcome to apply. We are working with a team of

archaeologists who will be examining the impacts of this drought on Native

American occupation within the Great Basin. For details on the research,

see Award 1636519
