Funded GES Research Opportunity on campus!

There is an undergraduate research opportunity this Spring with Prof. Erle Ellis, investigating spatial patterns of human/environment interactions.

The student will participate in existing research projects together with others in the lab, including graduate students. Research may involve fieldwork and will make use of existing spatial data at global, regional and local scales (population, land use, land cover, terrain, climate, gas fluxes and socioeconomic variables). Examples of ongoing work in the lab are at: http://ecotope.org/projects/

The successful applicant will receive a stipend of $750 per semester, get hands-on research experience, and a great item for their CV/resume!

To be selected, the student must be an undergraduate, have demonstrated skills or interest in geospatial analysis and/or remote sensing, and an interest in human interactions with the environment. In addition to funding, the student may be eligible for internship/independent study credit.

Like all research, our work is goal-oriented and directed toward results; this is not a 9-5 job. Hours can be flexible as long as goals are achieved.


This position is funded by a grant from UMBC's Undergraduate Research Assistant Support (URAS) Program. The URAS program is intended to target undergraduate students in their first or second year at UMBC (depending on student availability).
