GRADUATE STUDY IN PLANT ECOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
Two graduate student positions (Ph.D. or M.S.) are available to study rangeland ecosystem ecology. In many rangeland ecosystems, the belowground population of plant meristems (the bud bank) plays a primary role in plant population dynamics, species diversity, stability, and resistance to invasion. Our project will test hypotheses on environmental factors regulating bud bank dynamics and their ecological consequences in rangelands across the Great Plains. This research is funded through USDA collaborative funding with Kansas State University (D.C. Hartnett). In addition to stipend, benefits include tuition waiver (up to 6 hours per semester) and student health insurance. Tentative starting date: June 1, 2008. If interested, please email a letter stating your interest in the program and a resume to: Dr. Gail Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 008C Agricultural Hall Department of Natural Resource Ecology & Management Oklahoma State University Stillwater, OK 74078 405-744-5539 To apply, see website: http://nrem.okstate.edu/graduatestudents.html
