A M.S. position is available in the Reinhardt Lab (http://keithreinhardt.wordpress.com/) to investigate the impacts of altered hydroclimate (precipitation seasonality) on sagebrush steppe plant physiological ecology/ecohydrology. This EPSCoR-supported field-based project will involve quantifying changes in plant carbon and/or water relations among experimentally-altered precipitation treatments across scales (leaf-organism-plot), and will take place on an existing long-term (18+ years) ecohydrological experiment on the Idaho National Laboratory. We seek applicants with a B.S. in plant ecology or plant ecophysiology, and preference will go to those with previous research experience. The successful applicant will use both standard ecophysiological instrumentation (e.g., gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, pressure bomb apparatus, etc.), and innovative, novel techniques to quantify differences in carbon or water relations among precipitation treatments. We are particularly interested in applicants who have previous, hands on experience collecting gas exchange or sap flux measurements. Applicants should be able to work in field settings, sometimes under harsh conditions (hot, arid conditions typical of the northern Great Basin). Pocatello, Idaho offers an outstanding quality of life, with a low cost of living and endless outdoor recreation opportunities. The graduate stipend is ~$18K/year, and includes payment of tuition and fees. Funding is available for two years. Applicants should provide a cover letter detailing their interest in the position, a CV/resume, contact information for three references, and unofficial transcripts and GRE scores to Dr. Keith Reinhardt, reink...@isu.edu. Review of applications begins immediately.
