Oklahoma State University: Two graduate research assistantships (one at M.S. level and the other at Ph.D. level) are available to highly motivated students to conduct research in ecohydrology/ecophysiology/watershed management within a USGS/NWRI funded project. This project investigates the ecohydrological processes, alternation of hydrological function and water cycles associated with land cover change (i.e. woody plant encroachment) in a mesic grassland. Experience with sapflow techniques, E/T measurement or watershed modeling is highly desirable but not required. Graduate assistantships are $17,500 for a Ph.D. and $15,500 a M.S. annually. Both in-state and out-of-state tuition are waived and the health insurance of the candidate will be provided. The expected starting date is Spring 2010 but we are evaluating and filling the position now. Please contact: Chris Zou (chris....@okstate.edu), Rod Will (rodney.w...@okstate.edu) or Don Turton (don.tur...@okstate.edu) at Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University for more information. In your initial contact please send a Letter of Intent stating interests and professional goals, a C.V., Unofficial Transcripts, and copies of GRE/TOEFL scores.
