Graduate Research Assistantship in Forest Ecology- University of Georgia Warnell School of Forest Resources

We are seeking an MS student to pursue research on the potential impacts of sudden oak death on forest community structure and ecosystem processes in the southern Appalachians. This work will be part of a field experiment that will seek to emulate mortality of tree and shrub species that would result from the introduction of sudden oak death, and monitor a range of environmental and biotic responses to these treatments. The research will address fundamental scientific questions about forest ecosystem responses to novel types of disturbance, and will help to clarify the possible impacts of sudden oak death in the southeastern United States. The field site for this project will be the Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory, a 2185 ha experimental facility located in western North Carolina.
Desired qualifications include a B.S. degree in forestry, ecology, or a related field, along with a strong interest in pursuing ecological research at the graduate level. The assistantship will provide a stipend of $15,147/yr at 0.4 EFT and reduced tuition and fees of $438/semester. To apply, please send the following materials to Dr. Wimberly at the address given below. (1) Letter of interest describing professional goals, research interests, and qualifications for the position, (2) a resume, (3) transcripts (copies OK), (4) GRE scores (copies OK), and (5) names of three references along with email addresses, phone numbers, and postal addresses.
