I am seeking a graduate student to work on an NSF funded project reconstructing the paleoecology of an extended drought period in the Great Basin. I have three years of guaranteed RA funding that can be followed with teaching assistantship funding. PhD student applicants are preferred but MS students are welcome to apply. We are working with a team of archaeologists who will be examining the impacts of this drought on Native American occupation within the Great Basin. For details on the research, see Award 1636519 <https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/researchadmin/viewAwardLetter.do?awardId=1636519&pageFrom=pi_activeAwardList> .
