Graduate Research Assistantship in Soil Science and Clay Translocation Modeling

A graduate research assistantship is available in the Soil Science lab in the Department of Forestry at Stephen F. Austin State University (Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture), starting Fall 2026 . The project focuses on soil science , earth science , environmental science , and agriculture , with research on the process of clay translocation using the USDA-NRCS National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) Soil Characterization Database. The work builds on previous ensemble models of lessivage in Florida and will expand to include bioturbation and the broader Atlantic Coastal Plain Province , with a possible extension to the contiguous United States by physiographic province. This is a graduate research assistantship rather than a postdoctoral or faculty opening. The post does not specify whether the position is for a master's or PhD student, but it is clearly a graduate-level research opportunity. Funding details are not listed beyond the assistantship itself. Interested candidates should email Daniel Colopietro at [email protected] with a cover letter describing their interest and fit, a CV, academic transcript(s), and relevant test scores.
