Dear Colleagues,

We are recruiting five graduate students from historically underrepresented communities (four at the Master level and one at the Doctoral level) to study Soil Health and Data Science. These are fully funded, full-time positions supported by the USDA's National Needs Graduate Fellowship Program (NNF). The cohort of Fellows will matriculate through the Soil and Water Sciences Department at the University of Florida while also collaborating with and receiving training from data science experts in the Department of Biology and the School of Forest, Fisheries and Geomatics Sciences.

Training within this cohort will equip Fellows with an expertise in the fundamentals of soil science and soil health and the interdisciplinary training to couple cutting edge data analytics with those fundamentals. Fellows will be engaged in data-enabled, team-based research that translates complex soil data into actionable management practices, extension recommendations, and/or policy recommendations and will receive focused training in leadership, diversity, and extension. Fellows will also have multiple opportunities to attend/present their work at professional research and/or extension-based conferences.

Please see the attached ad for more details. Full consideration will be given to applications that are received before January 2nd, 2022.

Please feel free to share with any potential candidates!

Best,

Yang
