The Department of Earth and the Environment at Florida International University has a Ph.D. assistantship available for a student interested in the ecology of coastal wetlands. The ideal candidate will have some experience in vegetation ecology, plant-soil relationships, and/or remote sensing of large landscapes. The research will focus on recent changes in the coastal ecosystem gradient of the Florida Everglades, following on earlier studies that implicated sea level rise and altered fresh water delivery as important forces [Jour. Veg. Sci. 11:101-112 (2000); Wetlands 34 (Suppl 1): 91-100 (2014)]. Starting date could be August 2015 or January 2016. Please reply to Dr. Michael Ross (ro...@fiu.edu<mailto:ro...@fiu.edu>) with a CV and statement of interest.
