*Graduate student assistantship at Colorado State University, Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory*
We seek a highly motivated outstanding candidate for a MS (or eventually PhD) 2-year fully funded fellowship at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University (http://nrel.colostate.edu<http://www.nrel.colostate.edu/>). The student may earn her/his degree through the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (GDPE: http://ecology.colostate.edu<http://www.ecology.colostate.edu/>) or through the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences ( http://www.soilcrop.colostate.edu/ ). The student will join an established research program in soil isotope ecology and biogeochemistry. She/He will work on the quantification and understanding of carbon and nitrogen fluxes between plant, soil and the atmosphere as affected by climate change, using isotopic and other cutting edge techniques. Students enrolled in this program will integrate the latest science into real-world decision-making and public policy, with the ultimate goal of managing our planet's natural resources upon which all life depends sustainably into the future. This position provides excellent scope for cutting-edge research and publications. We especially encourage applications from groups that have been historically underrepresented in natural resource disciplines: African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Hispanic, Native, Pacific Islander and Asian American. *For information and application, please contact the Graduate Student advisor*: M.
