A PhD research assistantship is available in the Hoffmann lab in the Department of Plant Biology at North Carolina State University. This position is part of a larger effort to understand the mechanisms that drive vegetation-fire feedbacks in longleaf pine savannas. The student will undertake research on 1) physiological mechanisms of plant responses to fire or 2) effects of fire on plant population dynamics. This position will pay tuition, fees, and a stipend of approx. $20,000. For more information on the graduate program, see http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/plantbiology/gradprograms.html. Applications should be submitted online at http://www.ncsu.edu/grad/applygrad.htm. Review of applications will begin on January 15, but applications will be considered until a suitable applicant is recruited. NCSU has a large and distinguished community of over 110 ecologists and evolutionary biologists distributed over 15 departments in three colleges.
