Description

The Columbia River Basin is facing an invisible water quality crisis, negatively impacting human and ecosystem health. This interdisciplinary challenge requires expertise from a variety of fields to solve. This program trains MSc and PhD students in engineering and science (incl. social sciences) to do research to tackle these problems, hand-in-hand with the communities impacted. By valuing Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western science, students will learn how to find solutions to these pressing challenges with their communities.

Qualifications

RWC students will be M.S. or Ph.D. graduate students with a strong interest in river systems and in gaining experience working with communities and agencies involved with water quality and aquatic systems issues. Eligibility requirements include those of the WSU Graduate School and the participating department or school, and an aptitude for training in interdisciplinarity, teamwork, leadership, and working in cross-cultural environments. In order to receive NSF funding through the RWC program, applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents affiliated with U.S. universities, per National Science Foundation requirements. We are specifically interested in training members of Native American Tribes and underrepresented minorities.
