The Rural Sociology program of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education at the Pennsylvania State University is seeking applications for an NSF-funded multi-year graduate research assistantship. The successful candidate will work with a multi-disciplinary team on the population-infrastructure nexus in the context of community resilience and vulnerability under the supervision of Dr. Guangqing Chi. The candidate should also pursue a Ph.D. (preferred) or M.S. degree in rural sociology and a dual-title degree in demography.

The candidate is expected to have research interests in rural sociology, demography, population and environment, infrastructure, community resilience, transportation and society, climate change, and/or Big Data for social science research. Competence in rigorous statistical and spatial analysis is preferred. The student should also be self-motivated, open to learning new methods, resourceful, independent, and—of primary importance—highly professional.
