GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP TREE ECOPHYSIOLOGY, M.S.-LEVEL,
START 01 AUGUST 1997 (Opened 01 May 1997)
===============================================================
Research project on fine root production of trees seeks a graduate research
assistant at the Master of Science-level. The position will be for two
years and will provide a competitive stipend, including graduate tuition
and opportunities for travel.
The individual selected will be expected to investigate the growth and
biochemical responses of Populus roots to nutrient addition. He/she will
also have the opportunity to expand in other areas of interest within the
broader project.
The project is a 3-year study of nitrogen (N) controls over tree root
production and the implications of these to biomass production and N
uptake of Populus in field settings. We will establish field & greenhouse
nutritional studies, and use minirhizotron image analysis & remote
sensing, together with conventional ecological and physiological analyses,
to evaluate root and ecosystem responses to N.
Qualifications are: B.S. degree in forestry,
botany, or plant-science-related field; very good written and oral
communication skills; and an interest and ability in the areas of tree
physiology or plant ecology/physiology.
The start date for this position is 01 August, 1997, but will be extended
until a suitable applicant is found. Materials must be received by 01
July for academic work in the fall semester and by 01 November for
academic work in the spring semester.
Interested individuals should send:
(1) resume,
(2) academic transcripts,
(3) a letter describing your interest and qualifications for the position, and
(4) names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references.
Mississippi State University is a Doctoral-I institution with a thriving
graduate student population. The forest biology area within the Forestry
Department has a good record of M.S. graduate placement in private
corporations, prestigious Ph.D. programs, and public institutions. Any
inquiries about this position will be welcomed.
