Graduate Student & Post Doc Opportunities to work with Amanda Keen-Zebert and the
DRI Luminescence Laboratory
I am always looking for great students and post docs to join our research team. I advise graduate students through the UNR interdiscipolinary Graduate Program in Hydrologic Sciences and through the Department of Geological Science and Engineering. Scroll through the specific opportunities below and have a look at the projects page on this website to get a sense of what kind of research I typically do. Think about how I can best contribute to your research interests. Get in touch early so we can create a funding strategy to support your graduate work. It often takes a year or more to get funding. Even if you are about to graduate, please get in touch if you are interested in joining my research team. There are occasionally serendipitous opportunities for funding and applying for a teaching assistantship is always an option. My best advice for a great grad school application: start early! Work on getting a good GRE score, form a relationship with a potential advisor, and start early. Did I say start early? —AKZ
New opportunities will be added as they arise. Please check back often.
