Frances O’Donnell starting as assistant professor at Auburn University

Caylor Lab alum [Frances O’Donnell](/people/fodonnell/) will be starting this fall as an assistant professor of hydrologic engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at Auburn University.  Her position is part of the Climate, Human and Earth System Sciences (CHESS) cluster hire, which facilitates an interdisciplinary, systems approach to understanding, predicting, and reacting to changes in coupled human-earth systems across multi-scales from local to global.  She says she is looking forward to bringing the experience she gained as a postdoc at NAU in studying the eco- and sociohydrology of managed, fire-adapted forests to new challenges in the Southeast.  She is joining fellow Princeton CEE alum Lauren Beckingham on the Auburn CE faculty.

Congrats Frances!
