We are developing a novel weed control method using electricity. This project will further develop and evaluate the tool for weed control in vineyards. The MS student will have the opportunity to gain knowledge in weed science, soil science, agronomy, viticulture, soil microbial ecology, and even electrical engineering (if desired). The project will be based in Las Cruces, New Mexico, at the main campus of New Mexico State University (nmsu.edu).
Funding is $28,384.56 annually for two years. Addition compensation will be provided to cover tuition and health insurance.
If interested, please email Dr. Erik Lehnhoff ASAP at lehnhoff@nmsu.edu, providing a brief CV, GRE scores (if available), IELTS or TOEFL scores (international students), and contact information for two references. Reply by March 31 for full consideration.
