The Department of Geography at Texas A&M University is seeking a highly
motivated student to assist with an NSF-funded project investigating the
interrelations of herbivory on mountain birch establishment above the
current treeline in the mountains of northern Sweden.
The approach used will rely heavily on field collected data and
dendroecological methods. Applicants with interests and/or experience
with tree-ring research and/or quantitative vegetation community ecology
who are interested in pursuing either a masters or doctoral degree are
encouraged to apply. Duties associated with the position will take place
both in the field and in the laboratory.
The Texas A&M Geography Department has a strong biogeography program
that focuses on plant ecology, human/environment interactions, and
climate influences on vegetation. The department also has strengths in
geographic information science and remote sensing. Students seeking
training in biogeography and plant ecology will find an extensive
network of faculty on the A&M campus is a variety of supporting programs
(e.g., Ecosystem Science and Management, Entomology, Wildlife and
Fisheries Science) (http://eeb.tamu.edu). Texas A&M also has a large
group of faculty interested in Arctic and Antarctic issues
(http://psp.tamu.edu).
