Late-breaking funded graduate opportunity (Fall 2026)
I am recruiting a funded graduate student to join my research group in the Department of Geography at Kent State University beginning in Fall 2026. This position has become available following the recent funding of a new Ohio Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative (HABRI) project focused on the social-ecological dimensions of wetland restoration in the Western Lake Erie Basin and Great Black Swamp region.
The project will examine how governance, stakeholder perspectives, landscape identity, and institutional coordination shape wetland restoration outcomes, while working closely with the H2Ohio Wetland Monitoring Program. The student will engage in interdisciplinary research spanning environmental governance, GIS and spatial analysis, mixed methods, stakeholder engagement, and social-ecological systems research.
