_Ph.D. Student opportunity at the University of Idaho_: The Tree
Physiology Lab, in collaboration with the US Forest Service, Rocky
Mountain Research Station, is seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student
to work on questions related to physiology, drought tolerance, woody
plant seedling establishment and climate change. Potential projects
include, but are not limited to, underlying physiology of outplanting
success of native species, xylem anatomical properties that confer
drought tolerance, process-based modeling of seedling physiology during
drought and whole plant regulation of water loss. This position begins
in January of 2018. The University of Idaho is located in Moscow, a
small college town with a thriving arts scene and abundant opportunities
for outdoor recreation. The University also has a >8,000 acre
experimental forest where large-scale manipulative experiments can be
performed, and access to a fully-controlled greenhouse. For more
