UNR Geography supports research in human geography, and bio- & physical geography, human-environment geography, and geospatial technologies. Faculty and students work in an interdisciplinary setting with scholars across the department and beyond, including Colleges of Science, College Liberal Arts, College of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources, Division of Health Sciences, the Desert Research Institute, and various agencies. Reno is a dynamic and culturally-rich mid-sized city located at the edge of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains and the 100s of mountain ranges and basins that comprise the Great Basin. We enjoy easy access to Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, and numerous wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, national parks, and ski areas. http://www.unr.edu/about/reno-and-lake-tahoe<http://www.unr.edu/grad/admissions> The following faculty are currently accepting applications.
