Funded Ph.D. Opportunity, University of Georgia, Climate-Smart Agriculture
Call for applications for a PhD position funded through a NSF-HEGS project. The position will be through the University of Georgia’s Anthropology program. If interested, the student may also apply to UGA’s ICON Phd program.
The selected student will be co-advised by me and Prof. Don Nelson at UGA to examine climate-smart agriculture and farmer adaptation in India. They will also be working closely with Dr. Nathan Cook. This research team integrates a range of social science perspectives, including anthropology, economic theory, political science, and studies of environmental management and social-ecological resilience.
The student will be trained as an interdisciplinary social scientist, using diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to study how climate-smart interventions, rural livelihoods, and policies interact, and how these dynamics shape resilience and development outcomes in agricultural communities.
Minimum qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a Master’s degree in any social science field (economics, anthropology, geography, political science, or human dimensions of natural resources). They should have strong quantitative skills and demonstrate excellent writing and communication abilities. Knowledge of Hindi is preferred but not essential. Candidates with relevant methodological and theoretical training will be prioritized.
To apply:
The application deadline for the Department of Anthropology is December 1, 2024, and applicants are encouraged to contact Drs. Vallury and Nelson earlier to express their interest in the position.
Please send a CV with the names of 3 references and a 1-2-page cover letter describing your interest in this project to Sechindra Vallury (sechindra.vallury@uga.edu) and Don Nelson (dnelson@uga.edu).
The letter may include a brief denoscription of your relevant past experiences as well as some discussion of what interests you about this research.

PhD Position in Environmental Engineering - Microbial Evolution, AMR in the environment
The Stabryla Lab led by Dr. Lisa Stabryla is looking for a motivated PhD student to join her group in the Department of Civil, Materials, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, starting in the fall of 2025. The student will begin working on potential projects pertaining to evaluating antimicrobial mechanisms of engineered nanomaterials, understanding fundamental pathways for evolution and transmission of antimicrobial resistance in the built and natural environment, and developing new monitoring strategies for identifying drug-resistant bacteria and resistance hotspots in the environment. The candidate should have a background (or strong interests) in applying both traditional microbiological cell culture methods as well as next-generation sequencing techniques in pure cultures and mixed microbial communities/complex microbial systems.
The Stabryla Lab focuses on understanding how we can more effectively respond to emerging resistances in natural and built environments, including both through the sustainable design of next-generation, nano-enabled antimicrobial materials and the development of novel AMR monitoring strategies.
