Several research assistantships are available at the School of
Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Auburn University. The selected
student(s) will be working on the impacts of urban development and
land use/cover changes on hydrology as well as water quality of
forested ecosystems. Prospective candidates should be highly
motivated and preferably have a background in the physical aspects of
hydrology; especially watershed hydrology and water quality. The
research involves extensive modeling and model simulations;
consequently a background in modeling is desired but not necessary.
Knowledge and experience in computer programming is also favored.
Some of the projects involve site visits and data collection. These
positions open immediately.

Auburn University campus is conveniently located off Interstate 85,
and is only about 50 minutes by car from the city of Montgomery
(capital of Alabama) and about 1.5 hour from Atlanta. Auburn
University is consistently listed among the top 50 public
universities for the past 15 years and the Forestry program is in top
10 in research and publications.

Interested candidates should email a copy of their curriculum vitae
and a brief statement of research interest to Dr. Latif Kalin at
