I am inviting applications for a Masters level student in the Department of
Forestry, Michigan State University. The successful candidate will have two
years of graduate research assistantship support to work on a project
funded by multiple partners (TNC, MDNR, USFS, and Forests for the Future).
Using a long-term, multi-stand, manipulative harvest experiment in managed
northern hardwood forests, the project goals are to identify the factors
contributing to declining tree regeneration species diversity and to find
practical measures that could be used to reverse this trend. The student
will spend considerable time at field experiment sites in the northern
Lower Peninsula and eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where housing will
be provided, and will have the opportunity to interact with project partners.
