A PhD level graduate student position in wetland ecology is available in the Lawrence Lab in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Connecticut. We conduct primary and applied research focused on improving our understanding of wetland plant community composition and ecosystem function. The applicant will develop and examine questions related to sea level rise-driven shifts in coastal marsh vegetation, wetland restoration, and feedbacks to carbon cycling. The ideal candidate will have an MS in a related discipline with relevant field and laboratory research experience. Funding is available to assist with an ongoing coastal wetland project this summer, with Research Assistant funding beginning in the Fall semester (late August 2018).
To be considered, please contact Dr. Beth Lawrence via email (beth.lawre...@uconn.edu) with the following information: CV or resume, GPA and GRE scores, brief statement of research experience, interests and career goals.
