(1) Seeking Ph.D. Students Interested in Arctic Plant Physiology

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science & Technology (TEST) group at Brookhaven 
National Laboratory / Stony Brook 
University is currently recruiting Ph.D. students with one or more of the 
following skill sets:

Experience with portable infrared gas analyzers.
Experience modeling plant physiology.
Knowledge of Arctic plant communities and their ecology.
Experience conducting field work, particularly in extreme environments.

A degree in the biological sciences is required, preferably in plant biology. 
Candidates with an interest in 
the measurement and model representation of leaf and plant community gas 
exchange, and those with extensive 
experience working with Arctic plant communities are strongly encouraged to 
apply.  Students will be supervised 
by Dr. Alistair Rogers and have the opportunity to structure their thesis 
research around a multi institute 
U.S. Department of Energy Arctic research project, Next Generation Ecosystem 
Experiments-Arctic (NGEE-Arctic, 
ngee.ornl.gov). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct 
field research in Barrow and on 
the Seward Peninsula, AK, collaborate with over fifty scientists engaged in the 
NGEE-Arctic project, and the 
faculty and scientists at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National 
Laboratory.   Financial support may be 
available through a combination of research grants, graduate fellowships, and 
teaching opportunities. Please 
send CV and cover letter describing research interests to Dr. Alistair Rogers 
(arog...@bnl.gov). The deadline 
for applicants to the Ecology & Evolution doctoral program at Stony Brook is 
December 1st. Learn more about the 
TEST group at www.bnl.gov/test.

(2) Seeking Ph.D. students interested in the remote sensing of plant traits

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science & Technology (TEST) group at Brookhaven 
National Laboratory / Stony Brook 
University is currently recruiting Ph.D. students with one or more of the 
following skill sets:

Experience measuring plant physiological traits
Experience with remote sensing data
Experience analyzing large data sets
Experience conducting field work, particularly in extreme environments.

A degree in the life sciences is required, preferably in plant biology, ecology 
or remote sensing. Candidates 
with an interest in the measurement and model representation of plant 
structural and functional traits and 
model-data fusion are strongly encouraged to apply.  Students will be 
supervised jointly by Dr. Alistair Rogers 
(arog...@bnl.gov) and Dr. Shawn Serbin (sser...@bnl.gov) and have the 
opportunity to structure their thesis 
research around a growing portfolio of research within the TEST group. The 
successful candidate will have the 
opportunity to conduct research in a diverse range of field sites spanning 
Arctic and tropical ecosystems.  
Financial support may be available through a combination of research grants, 
graduate fellowships, and teaching 
opportunities. Please send CV and cover letter describing research interests to 
Dr. Alistair Rogers. The 
deadline for applicants to the Ecology & Evolution doctoral program at Stony 
Brook is December 1st. Learn more 
about the TEST group at www.bnl.gov/test.
