Funding is available for 3.5 years for a Ph.D. assistantship in wildlife ecology in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture at Mississippi State University. Research will focus on evaluating numerical (abundance and diversity) and functional responses (conservation status and ecological services provided by) bird and plant communities in managed pine states from stand initiation to canopy closure, including a hardwood release treatment at 6 years post-stand initiation. This project will involve field work and analysis of historic datasets. Candidates should possess an M.S. in ecology or related field and be able to illustrate experience and interest working with avian communities of the southeastern United States. For more information, please contact Dr. Scott Rush (scott.r...@msstate.edu<mailto:scott.r...@msstate.edu>).
Applicants should attach CV, cover letter, and contact information for three references. Competitive stipend and tuition.
