PhD Graduate Assistantship in Agroecology at the University of New Hampshire (UNH)
Funding is available starting fall 2011 for a self-motivated PhD student to develop a project within an agroecosystem context that considers the roles of soil management, cover crops, and microbial communities in the rhizosphere in mediating carbon sequestration, nutrient dynamics, weed-crop competition, and/or crop response to climate change. Prospective students should possess a master’s degree in ecology, agroecology or agronomy and meet the qualifications necessary to be accepted into the University of New Hampshire’s Natural Resources & Earth Systems Science Ph.D. Program http://www.unh.edu/nressphd/apply.html. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct field research at both the UNH campus in Durham, NH and the Penn State Campus in State College, PA, and to collaborate with other researchers housed at UNH, Penn State, the University of Minnesota, the University of Illinois, Michigan State University, and the USDA ARS.
