The O’Keefe Lab <https://kimokeefe.weebly.com/> at Northern Michigan University is recruiting a MS student to investigate the ecophysiology of savanna plants (start date Fall 2025). The student will work with a team to study how plant physiological traits promote ecosystem resilience to co-occurring extreme perturbations (extreme fire, grazing and drought) in a South African savanna. This position includes a full tuition waiver, as well as academic year and summer support for two years. Applicants with strong interests in plant ecology, grasslands and savannas, climate change biology, or related fields are encouraged to apply. This position requires a bachelor’s degree in biology, ecology, or related fields. Desired qualifications include: ability to balance working independently and collaboratively, comfort in remote locations and field work, strong writing skills, experience with or a strong desire to learn plant ecophysiology measurements, experience with or interest in learning ecological data analysis. The O’Keefe Lab aims to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences and encourages applications from students who are members of historically excluded or marginalized groups. To apply, please send a letter of interest, CV, unofficial transcript, and contact information for 2 references to Dr. Kim O’Keefe ([email protected]). Review of applications will begin immediately and all applications received by December 15, 2024 will receive full consideration.
