PhD position in Coastal Plant-Microbe Interactions The lab of Jeremiah Henning (jeremiahahenning.com) is seeking candidates for a fully funded PhD position in the Stokes School of Marine and Environmental Sciences at the University of South Alabama to conduct research in coastal plant-microbe interactions. The lab has various projects focused on the response of dune/ arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal and salt marsh/dark septate endophyte communities to ongoing global change. Additionally, the lab has projects exploring the role of coastal microbial communities in coastal restoration and resiliency. PhD Assistantships offer competitive stipend of $22,200 to $25,200 (based on milestone progress), student health insurance, and tuition remission. About the program The Doctor of Philosophy in Environment and Society is designed to provide transdisciplinary graduate education and research training integrating the environmental and social sciences. Students in the program will take a transdisciplinary core course in socio-environmental systems and multi-disciplinary electives across environmental sciences, social sciences, and research methods as part of a highly flexible curriculum designed to allow diverse specializations. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded in recognition of a student's demonstrated ability to conduct original, scholarly research at the highest levels without extensive supervision. Earning a Ph.D. in Environment and Society demonstrates a level of competence and accomplishment that enables graduates to pursue careers as transdisciplinary scientists, academics, and environmental managers focused on understanding and addressing society’s most pressing environmental problems. Applicants must have completed at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent by the start date of the position and should have a strong interest in mycology, plant ecology, and global change. Preference will be given to students with prior research experience and/or a background in mycorrhizal and plant community ecology. The Stokes School of Marine and Environmental Sciences and the Graduate School at the University of South Alabama specify requirements for GPA and standardized testing. https://www.southalabama.edu/colleges/artsandsci/marinesciences/GraduateProgram.html Interested students should email Dr Jeremiah Henning ([email protected]) with CV and a short statement describing relevant experience and why they are interested in working on this project (1 page max).
