The successful candidate will be co-advised by Dr. David Bidwell and Dr. Emily Diamond at the University of Rhode Island, will work with other collaborators from other institutions, and will interact with diverse communities. Three years of funding is guaranteed, with the student working 20 hours/week on the two projects.
