MS/PhD Research Assistant - Modeling Ingrowth and Mortality in Managed Northern Hardwood Stands to Evaluate Forest Sustainability
A MS/PhD research assistantship is available for Fall 2009 (possible summer 2009 start) at the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Research will utilize long-term remeasurement data to investigate the role of past management activities on rates of mortality across dbh classes and ingrowth (regeneration) within managed northern hardwood stands. Prospective students should be highly motivated, demonstrate good communication skills (written and oral), strong quantitative skill and be willing to conduct field work. A BS in forestry, forest ecology, or natural resources is desirable. This is a fully funded assistantship that includes: tuition, stipend, and health insurance for the student. To inquire further, please email Dr. Eddie Bevilacqua (ebevilac...@esf.edu) a CV, a description of your research interests and experience, and unofficial transcripts. The successful candidate may begin their program in May 2009. Review of applications will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
