My apologies that in the message that I sent earlier regarding the availability of an RA in tropical forest ecology, there was a mistake in the web address. The complete message with corrected web address follows:
************************************ Graduate Research Assistantship in Tropical Forest Ecology, Michigan State University. I am seeking a motivated doctoral student to participate in an NSF-funded project focused on the long-term dynamics of tree seedlings in wet tropical forest (La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica). RA and/or fellowship funding is available for 5 years (for students starting Fall Semester 2008). The successful candidate is expected to undertake a dissertation related to this research project and contribute to data collection and management for the broader project. My graduate students enroll through either the Forestry or Plant Biology graduate programs, but in either case also participate in the interdepartmental program in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior. If you are interested, please email me ASAP: 1) a brief statement of research background / interests and career goals; 2) GRE scores and percentiles; 3) GPA for undergraduate and graduate programs; and 4) CV. With this information, I can give you an assessment of where your application might stand. Note that time is short; I will favor candidates with complete applications to the MSU Graduate School (NOT simply emailing me the info above) that are received by 31 December. For more information about my lab group, see http://www.for.msu.edu/pages/faculty/kobe_r.html or contact me at via email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or phone (517 355-8433). Thanks, Rich Kobe
