We are seeking two highly motivated PhD students to study water and carbon fluxes in tropical montane forests of Costa Rica. The positions are located in the Moore Ecohydrology Lab (http://agrilife.org/gmoore/) within the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at Texas A&M University and are part of a new DOE-funded project “Improving Land-Surface Modeling of Evapotranspiration Processes in Tropical Forests” (2013-2016). Additional sources of funding include university and departmental fellowships and teaching assistantships. The project builds on ongoing ecohydrology work conducted at the Texas A&M Soltis Center (http://soltiscentercostarica.tamu.edu/) in Costa Rica.
