Graduate Assistantship in Ecosystem Carbon Dynamics of a Long Leaf Pine Forest Managed with Fire
At The University of Alabama A M.S. or Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship is available in the Department of Biological Sciences to work on a large interdisciplinary project at Jones Ecological Research Center beginning summer or fall 2008. The students research interests should focus on plant ecophysiology, ecosystem physiology, fire ecology, forest productivity, or plant ecology. The project will focus on developing a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem carbon dynamic for two types of long leaf pine systems that are managed with fire. The student will have the opportunity to interact with scientists from the University of Alabama, Jones Ecological Research Center, USFS, University of Florida, and University of New Hampshire. A general knowledge of photosynthetic equipment and data logger use is a plus. This is a fully funded assistantship that includes: stipend, health insurance, living quarters at the Jones Center, and a small research budget. Interested students should send a copy of their CV, statement of research interest, and unofficial copy of transcripts to Dr. Gregory Starr or contact Dr. Starr for more details ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or 352-846- 0889). Closing date is January 31, 2007.
