Thank you for your interest in joining the Seybold lab!
We are is always looking for creative, hardworking and collaborative team members to join the group!
Graduate students (M.S./Ph.D.): I am recruiting a highly-motivated M.S. or Ph.D. student for the current admission cycle (appointment to begin in AY 2025-2026). I am looking for a student interested in applying big data tools to hydrologic and biogeochemical datasets to understand how critical zone structure mediates the impacts of climate change on water quality and quantity. This student will work closely with members of an NSF Critical Zone Collaborative Network synthesis group coordinated by the USGS Powell Center.
If interested, please email me at [email protected] with a brief description of your research interests and current CV.
In addition to posted positions, I encourage prospective lab members to seek independent sources of funding (e.g. NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program). If you’re interested in writing a graduate fellowship together, please contact me with your CV and a description of your research interests.
Undergraduates:
If you are a University of Kansas undergraduate who is interested in getting research experience, please contact me! We have potential work study and thesis research projects available for you.
Check back in the spring for information about the Geohydrology Internship Program at the Kansas Geological Survey (located at the University of Kansas) in summer 2025! Information on the summer 2025 internships will be posted in January 2025. This 12 week paid internship is a great opportunity to gain experience in how to collect and analyze hydrological, biogeochemical, and geophysical data. If you’re interested in summer research opportunities, please contact me with a short description of why you are interested in joining the lab and your resume/CV.
Apply to the BESST Program at KU. The BESST program is a 2 year research training program for STEM students interested in gaining authentic reserach experience. If you're a 3rd or 4th year student at KU and are federal work study eligible, you can apply to join the 2024-2025 cohort here.
Postdoctoral Researcher: I don’t currently have any postdoc positions in the lab, but am open to talking with those who are interested in writing fellowships or grants together (e.g. NSF Earth Science Research (EAR) postdoc fellowship). If you are interested in working on a fellowship application together, please email me with your CV and information about the project you are interested in developing together.
