Apologies for any cross-postings. ==============================================
Graduate Research Assistantship in Dendroclimatology, DendroLab, University of Nevada, Reno Applications are invited for a Graduate Research Assistantship at the DendroLab, University of Nevada, Reno, USA (see http://woods.geography.unr.edu/ for information on the laboratory). This is a 10-month assistantship including a stipend, tuition waiver, health insurance, laboratory and field equipment, and travel support. The successful candidate will work toward a Master of Science degree either in the Department of Geography or in the interdisciplinary Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences. The position will begin in Fall 2006, and is guaranteed for one year, with a possibility of renewal for a second year. Applicants should have a BA or BS in Geography, Statistics, Computer Science or a related field. Candidates with background in statistics or simulation modeling will be preferred. Ability to work with statistical packages, such as SAS or R, is particularly welcomed. The successful applicant will conduct laboratory research on the reconstruction of climate from tree-ring records, with particular emphasis on applying stochastic models to climatic episodes. Drs. A. Panorska and T. Kozubowski (Mathematics and Statistics), and Dr. L. Saito (Natural Resources and Environmental Science), all of them at the University of Nevada, Reno, are Co-PIs on this project. The research is funded by a National Science Foundation grant (see https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/showaward?award=0503722). Another graduate student will also be hired on this project through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Information on the application process to the Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences (deadline is February 1st) is available on-line from http://www.hydro.unr.edu/. Information on the application process to the Department of Geography (deadline is March 1st) is available on-line from http://equinox.unr.edu/homepage/fbiondi/graduate.htm. Candidates should also check the University Graduate School website, http://www.vpr.unr.edu/grad2/, which includes information for international candidates. Applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Franco Biondi by e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or telephone (775 784-6921) to discuss their interest in joining this project and their pertinent background and training.
