We are looking to recruit a graduate student researcher to start in Fall 2023 for two years through Spring 2025 for a research project in collaboration with Portland State University, the University of Nevada, and Cal Poly Pomona. The project examines the environmental justice dimensions of energy-water infrastructures.
The ideal applicant will be interested in pursuing a masters degree in two years with a start time of Fall 2023, and interested in research for a masters thesis on one or more of the projects we will study. The research will examine the environmental justice elements of a desalination project in Marina, offshore wind at Morro Bay, and California’s largest battery storage project at Moss Landing, as part of a broader project supported by the National Science Foundation, NSF 21-623 Human-Environment and Geographical Sciences Program; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.
