The successful candidate will enroll in the graduate program at the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University. This project advances the fields of forest ecohydrology by bridging the gap between in-situ observations and global satellite data using machine learning approaches.
Required qualifications: M.Sc. with a strong academic background in Critical Zone or environmental science, hydrology, forestry, natural resources, soil science, or similar. Proficiency in one programming language (python or R). Evidence of self-motivation, independence, and interest in research. Strong written and oral communication skills.
Desired qualification: Experience with scientific writing, knowledge of statistical analysis and machine learning models, GIS skills.
Benefits: Tuition and student health insurance, $30,000 annual stipend.

Graphic announcing that applications are open for the 2026 Evolution & Ecology Graduate Preview Program, a program run by UC Davis graduate students. The design features a cream-colored folded letter on a textured white paper background with large dark burgundy text reading “APPLY TODAY,” partially overlaid by a banner that says “APPLICATIONS OPEN.” At the top, smaller text reads, “Program run by UC Davis graduate students.” A red-and-black ladybug sits on the left edge of the letter, while two large red megaphones emerge from the bottom corners, pointing inward toward the announcement.

Centered on the letter, a bordered text box reads: “2026 Evolution & Ecology Graduate Preview Program.” Below, bold red text highlights program offerings: “One-on-one mentorship, Q&A panels, & Writing statements.” Additional text states: “Individuals from groups traditionally excluded from STEM are especially encouraged to apply.” At the bottom, the graphic reads: “Apply on our website: https://eegradpreview.weebly.com/” displayed inside a rounded burgundy button. The overall color palette uses warm cream, burgundy, brown, and bright red accents.
