Graduate opportunity in wetland plant ecology and restoration, University of Illinois
I am seeking a graduate research assistant (M.S.) to begin in fall 2011 in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois. Research will focus on plant community ecology in natural and restored wetlands, and specific research projects will be developed with the student. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in applied ecology and a B.S. in ecology, botany, environmental science or a related discipline. Experience with field research, GIS, or the flora of the Midwestern U.S. is highly desirable but not required. Interested students should send a CV and a letter of interest to Jeff Matthews ([email protected]). The selected candidate will be supported with a stipend and tuition waiver. To be selected, a candidate must be admitted to the M.S. program in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences (see http://nres.illinois.edu/future_graduate for program information and application instructions).
