Graduate Research Assistantship - Invasive Species
Accessing Invasive Exotic Plants in Urban Forests I am seeking a qualified student who wants to work with invasive exotic plants in city parks in Lexington and Louisville Kentucky. This Ph.D. research assistantship will begin in the fall semester 2006. Qualified students should have a strong interest in working in the area of invasive species and GIS technology. Opportunities exist for the student to assist and help with other projects as they desire. This project will study the association between the occurrence of invasive exotic plants and the characteristics of urban forest remnants and their surrounding landscapes (size, structure, usage, and management). The assistantship is funded by USDA Forest Service. It pays $13,000 per year plus tuition and health insurance. Application should be made as soon as possible and must include a statement of research and career interests, a copy of all transcripts, GRE scores, and three letters of recommendation.
