MS Research Assistant, Drivers of Grassland Fire Behavior

The Landscape Ecology and Fire Lab at Texas Tech University seeks a graduate student to contribute to an NSF-funded program on the variation of fuels attributes as drivers of grassland wildfire behavior. The student will predict fuels characteristics at regional scales using remote sensing, and will assist with experimental fires and contribute to a fire-focused network of land managers and scientists in the Southern Great Plains. Prior experience with remote sensing and/or fire ecology is desirable. Strong, demonstrated interest in at least one of these areas is required. Start date is flexible from January-September 2026. In addition to stipend/assistantship, generous benefits and full tuition remission will be provided. To apply, please submit a cv (with names of three references), an unofficial transcript, and a cover letter to [email protected]
