The Hufford and Nippgen Research Labs at the University of Wyoming invite applications for a motived student seeking to complete a PhD in the field of ecosystem science.  The student will work with a team of researchers on an NSF-funded project that aims to explore reclamation outcomes at sites in Wyoming affected by large-scale land disturbances. 
The core research program will comprise:
• Assessing ecological and hydrologic conditions using on-the-ground fieldwork, UAV-based remote sensing (multispectral and Lidar), and parsimonious hydrologic models.
• Evaluating the effects of topographic restructuring on vegetation recruitment, species diversity, soil moisture, surface runoff, sediment export, and erosion.
Team members include Dr. Kristina Hufford, Dr. Fabian Nippgen, and Dr. Roger Coupal, and the successful applicant will have opportunities to work with state agency personnel and engineers who regulate and design land reclamation of abandoned mine lands.  The student will be guided and supported by the full team with the goal of learning and applying remote sensing and land-based field methodologies, as well as modeling data over a chronological sequence of reclamation sites. Research outcomes will predict how well different reclamation methods meet regulatory requirements as well as baselines for ecological recovery.
Applicants should have a degree (MS preferred) in ecosystem sciences such as hydrology, ecology, or related fields. Preferred qualifications include a keen interest in ecological restoration and reclamation practices, experience (at bachelor's or master’s degree level) in ecology or remote sensing, strong quantitative data analysis skills (e.g., in R or Python) and the desire to apply ecological and hydrological models.
TO APPLY: The team encourages interested students to reach out with questions by contacting Dr. Kristina Hufford at khufford@uwyo.edu  (please use the subject line UW Ecosystem Science PhD). You may apply by emailing the following information: (1) a one-page statement describing your interest in the project and relevant aspects of your background, (2) trannoscripts from bachelor’s programs, as well as any graduate programs (unofficial trannoscripts are acceptable), (3) a resume or CV, and (4) the contact information of three references. Review of applications will begin August 20 and continue until the position is filled. Preferred start date is Fall 2024 or Spring 2025.

The successful applicant will conduct dissertation research in one of three possible degree programs: Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management, the Program in Ecology and Evolution, or the Hydrologic Sciences Program.
