Graduate Research Assistantship (M.S.) is available to study carbon dynamics in oak-pine savanna in eastern Oklahoma to begin Spring or Summer 2011.

Research opportunities can be tailored to interest, and we invite students to apply with research interests ranging from plant community ecology, to eco- physiology, production ecology or ecological modeling. The position will require substantial field work. For information about the Dept. of Natural Resource Ecology & Management at Oklahoma State University, please see: http://nrem.okstate.edu. A stipend is available at $15,500/yr for two years, with renewal after the first year based on satisfactory progress. Benefits include tuition waiver and health insurance.
