Graduate student opportunity in spatial analysis of socio-ecological systems
at the University of Idaho

Funding is available for a Ph.D. student to study the spatial integration
of biophysical and social attributes of wildfire vulnerability in the context
of resilience in socioecological systems. Project goals include working
with social and environmental scientists in analyzing and visualizing social and
ecological processes, and translating science into decision-support tools
and outcomes. Interested applicants should have a degree in geography, GIS,
anthropology, sociology, natural resources, or a related degree program.
Desired qualifications include experience conducting analyses with both
vector and raster data in GIS, experience with quantitative social science
methods, and the ability to work independently while functioning as part of
