Three fully funded graduate positions in Arctic Restoration Ecology (1 PhD.
and 2 MSc.) are available in the Departments of Soil Science and Plant
Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan.
This is a unique opportunity to join an interdisciplinary project spanning
the fields of restoration ecology, soil science, and plant ecology. We will
be examining the potential for using biological soil crusts and tundra
surface organic layers to foster the recovery of arctic plant community
assemblages and essential ecosystem functions following mining disturbance.
Fieldwork will be conducted at a working mine site in Nunavut, Canada with
opportunities to work closely with mine company staff. We will also be
heavily involved in the development and delivery of an on-site education
program for Nunavut youth integrating soil science, plant ecology,
environmental monitoring, restoration and traditional ecological knowledge.
