Graduate Research Assistantship. We have an opening for a graduate student seeking a Ph.D. in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at Colorado State University starting in December 2012 or May 2013. The successful applicant will study trophic and hydrologic controls on willow communities in Yellowstone National Park to reveal how the reintroduction of wolves has shaped ecosystem processes. The position is fully funded by an LTREB award from the National Science Foundation. An annual stipend, full tuition waiver, and housing during 3-4 months of annual work in the field will be provided. Requirements include a master's degree in ecology or related field, strong quantitative skills, and the ability to communicate effectively orally and in writing. There will be an opportunity to do a preliminary interview at the Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Portland, Oregon (August 4-8, 2012) and at the Annual Meeting of the Wildlife Society, also in Portland (October 16-18, 2012).
