- Graduate Assistantship in Sustainable Communities
- Northen Arizona University’s Sustainable Communities Program seeks a graduate student for a two-year, fully funded graduate assistantship during the 2024-2026 academic years.
- The student will be an integral part of a faculty/student team that is developing a new USDA-NIFA-funded project, “Addressing Barriers to HSI Student Retention through Community Engaged Sustainable Food Systems Education.”
- The Graduate Assistant will work toward an MA degree in Sustainable Communities while helping to coordinate and oversee a team of funded undergraduate interns who will work in Flagstaff public school gardens.
- Because the project focuses on underserved populations, the Graduate Assistant is required to have a high level of Spanish-language fluency.
- This position requires working 20 hours per week on the project during the two academic years, and 40 hours a week during the intervening summer.
- Interested students must first apply to and be accepted into the Sustainable Communities MA Program.
- Please direct questions to Kari Henquinet (kbhenqui@mtu.edu) or program PI Peter Friederici (peter.friederici@nau.edu).
