PhD position | Geographies of Petrochemicals | Pennsylvania State University

This will be a very interdisciplinary project that will utilize qualitative and quantitative methods and include fieldwork. Ideal candidates will have backgrounds in fieldwork-based geographies of Appalachia and natural resources and have a strong commitment to forging more environmentally just ways of engaging the world.
