Graduate opportunity at Dartmouth

 PhD Fellowship in Ecology, Evolution, Environment & Society (EEES), Dartmouth College

The Ecology, Evolution, Environment & Society (EEES) graduate program at Dartmouth College (New Hampshire, United States) seeks applicants for fully-funded PhD study within the program’s Environment and Society research cluster, beginning in September 2026.  Candidates interested in pursuing critical qualitative research on topics related to restoration, sustainability, food, agriculture and/or water are especially welcome to apply. 

Candidates should have a demonstrated capacity for independent, original inquiry and a commitment to interdisciplinary analytical frameworks, such as political ecology and Science and Technology Studies (STS). A Bachelor's or Master's degree in one of the environmental social sciences (e.g., geography, environmental studies, anthropology, or environmental/rural sociology) is preferable; some previous coursework, research, or professional experience in agri-food or water governance would also be helpful. 

To initiate an application, please email a brief statement of interest and a CV to Professor Susanne Freidberg (susanne.e.freidberg@dartmouth.edu) and Professor Chris Sneddon (christopher.s.sneddon@dartmouth.edu). Review of applications will begin December 1, 2025. Only completed applications will be reviewed, and applications will not be accepted after January 15, 2026. To learn more about the program please visit the EEES homepage and to submit an application, please see the Dartmouth School of Graduate and Advanced Studies site.

Autumn on the Prairie at Nachusa this Saturday 20

 Autumn on the Prairie at Nachusa is their annual public event and is this coming Saturday Sept. 20th. It's free except for $5 parking and there are bison tours, and other tours, a few of which are led by graduate students in my lab. I narrate the bison tours from 12-4. They also have arts and crafts, food, and merch as well. Check it out!

Also, BIOS folks, since Nachusa hosted our retreat for free, if you're looking for a way to thank them, you could donate to the science endowment that Friends of Nachusa has, which gives out thousands in grants to support especially student research projects, or you could donate your time by volunteering to help them collect seed for future restorations and/or remove weeds from current ones.
