Two PhD assistantships are available at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ for students interested in bringing together social-ecological systems science and creative technology to investigate wildfire, ecological disturbance, landscape change, and recovery. Students will combine environmental data science with interactive and immersive technologies to generate new scientific insights and develop tools for environmental research and decision-making.
Applicants may come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds; curiosity about and commitment to working across these areas matter more than prior expertise in all of them.
Students will be advised by Dr. Megan Cattau and will be active members of the WILDD Systems Lab (Ways of Interpreting Landscape Disturbance + Dynamics) in the ATLAS Institute at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ. Depending on their backgrounds and research interests, the students may pursue a PhD in Creative Technology & Design at ATLAS or in .
Initial interest form deadline: November 1, 2026. Selected finalists will be invited to apply formally to the appropriate Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder PhD program by December 1, 2026.
