The Steinbach Research Group welcomes applications from prospective graduate students interested in conducting research at the intersection between applied economics and data science with a particular focus on agriculture and the environment. Graduate students are formally admitted through the MS and Ph.D. programs in the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics and the Graduate School at North Dakota State University. They should contact Dr. Steinbach before applying to the program. As a prospective graduate student, you should review our projects and publications to determine whether the research themes and motivating questions resonate with your interests.

 

If you’re excited about the work that we do, you are encouraged to send an introductory email with a statement outlining how your research interests fit with those of the Steinbach Research Group and your motivation for pursuing a graduate degree, your resume, and the names as well as the affiliations for three professional references who can speak about your preparation for research-intensive graduate training. The Steinbach Research Group also offers opportunities for Postdoctoral researchers and fellows. Interested individuals should contact Dr. Steinbach to discuss potential fellowship opportunities and research projects.
