[ECOLOG-L] Graduate student opportunity in Ecosystem Ecology at Miami University
Graduate student opportunity in Ecosystem Ecology at Miami University The Fisk lab (http://www.units.miamioh.edu/melanyfisklab/index.html) at Miami University invites applications to the PhD program in Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (EEEB) or to the Masters program in Biology. Our lab investigates forest ecosystem questions in the areas of biogeochemistry, plant-soil interactions, and soil ecology. Funding is available to contribute to a project at the Hubbard Brook and Bartlett Experimental Forests examining nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in northern hardwood forests (https://hubbardbrook.org/people/melany-fisk). This project aims to better understand limitations to forest productivity and stoichiometric controls of nutrient recycling. It is a collaboration among scientists from multiple universities and offers the opportunity to interact with students and faculty of wide-ranging interests in ecology. Interested applicants should send email to Melany Fisk (fis...@miamioh.edu) with a CV and brief statement of research interests.
[ECOLOG-L] Assistant Professor in Global Change Biology, Miami University
Assistant Professor of Biology, Miami University (new deadline) Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Global Change Biology to start August 2017.

[ECOLOG-L] graduate student opportunities
PhD positions are available in the Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology program (http://www.cas.muohio.edu/eeeb/) at Miami University, Oxford, OH, for students interested in soil microbial ecology and biogeochemistry. Students would join collaborative NSF-funded research projects studying either winter climate change or nutrient colimitation in northern hardwood forest ecosystems at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, USA. Possible research areas include plant- microbe mechanisms of nutrient acquisition; biogeochemical feedbacks to soil calcium depletion, nitrogen enrichment and/or phosphorus limitation; and wintertime microbial dynamics and organic matter processing in relation to the timing and depth of snowpack. Please contact Melany Fisk at fis...@muohio.edu for more information.
