[ECOLOG-L] PhD opportunity in Coastal Wetland Ecology at UConn
Beth Lawrence's research group at University of Connecticut has an opening for a PhD student in wetland ecology. We conduct primary and applied research focused on improving our understanding of wetland plant community composition, restoration, and ecosystem function. The applicant will develop and examine questions related to how vegetation alters carbon cycling in coastal marshes, possibly examining the role of root exudates and rhizosphere oxygenation in organic matter persistence. Top candidates will have an MS in a related discipline with relevant field and biogeochemistry research experience. Ideally, the Graduate Research Assistant will begin this fall semester (late August 2018), but a January 2019 start may be possible. Contact Beth via email (beth.lawre...@uconn.edu) before June 1, 2018 to warrant full consideration with the following information: CV, GPA and GRE scores, and a brief statement of research experience/interests/career goals. See the following links for more information on my research program: http://lawrencelabuconn.weebly.com/, the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment: http://www.nrme.uconn.edu/ and details about applying to the Graduate School at the University of Connecticut: http://grad.uconn.edu/.
