[ATTW-L] Funded M.S. Research Assistantship at URI

[Madison Jones]

Dear Colleagues,



I write to announce a funded Graduate Research Assistantship as part of an
interdisciplinary collaboration between the departments of Writing &
Rhetoric (WRT) and Natural Resources Science (NRS) at the University of
Rhode Island. The selected student would work directly with me to help
develop the DWELL Lab <https://web.uri.edu/dwell/>, a digital initiative
using location-based technologies to promote community-engaged science and
environmental advocacy.



I seek a prospective M.S. student with  excellent analytical, written, and
verbal communication skills. Experience working with digital and visual
media, especially AR/VR technologies (such as Unity or Vuforia) and GIS, as
well as experience in science communication and/or community-engaged
advocacy are all preferred but not required. More information about the
position is available in the GRA funding announcement
<https://web.uri.edu/dwell/grafall2021/>.



Interested students should apply to the Masters of Environmental Science
and Management <https://web.uri.edu/cels-gradprograms/mesm/> (M.E.S.M.)
program. Applicants to the M.S. and Ph.D. in Biological and Environmental
Sciences (BES) may also be considered. Full-time, 20-hour-per-week
assistantships provide a stipend, health insurance, tuition remission (up
to 12 credit hours/semester) and a waiver of 20 percent of student fees.
Funding is available for one year, with the opportunity to extend for a
second year contingent on performance and academic progress.



To be considered, students must apply for Fall 2021 admission through the URI
GradCAS system <http://gradcas.liaisoncas.org/apply/>. Interested
applicants should contact me in advance at madisonjones at uri.edu with a CV
and a brief statement (1-2 paragraphs) describing relevant coursework,
other related experience, and why they are interested in working in the
lab. Deadline for consideration is Jan. 15, 2020.


Best,



Madison
