We are a large and productive lab group in the Geography Department at Portland State University.
There are plenty of opportunities for graduate students and postdocs in our lab. Please email Dr. Holz @ andres.holz@pdx.edu if you are interested in joining the lab, briefly describe your research interests, and include a copy of your CV.

Opportunities for Undergrads
We are always looking for motivated undergraduate students interested in working on independent projects or getting involved in the lab’s research. If you are interested in doing your honors thesis research, internships (for credit), or volunteering in the lab, please get in touch with enough time to produce a proposal and apply for fieldwork funding (e.g., during the fall of your Junior year ).
Opportunities for Graduate Students
We accept applications from prospective students interested in the Geography (master's) program and the School of Earth, Environment, and Society (SEES) PhD program. Eligible prospective graduate students should consider applying for NSF Graduate Research Fellowships concurrent with their application to graduate school. I also encourage prospective PhD students to consider submitting a proposal to the National Geographic Society Research and Exploration program and/ or the Graduate Research Innovation Award at the Joint Fire Science Program (GRIN-JFSP).

Opportunities for Postdocs
I am excited to collaborate with postdoctoral researchers. If advertised positions are available, they will appear below. However, many external postdoctoral fellowships could facilitate collaborations. Examples include the Smith Postdoctoral Fellowship, the NPS Fellowship, the McDonnell Foundation Complexity Fellowship, NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships, and SESYNC Fellowships. Additional opportunities include: The NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, the AAUW International Fellowships for women who are not U.S. citizens to train in the U.S., the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Postdoctoral Fellowships, and the Fulbright opportunities for non-U.S. scholars.
If you are interested, please share your ideas, and we can chat.
