Dear Dr. Inouye: Would you consider posting this graduate fellowship ad on the listserve?
Thanks, Steve Brewer Graduate Fellowship in Forest Restoration Ecology & Management Graduate fellowships are available for students to pursue a Master of Science or Ph.D. degree in the area of forest restoration ecology and management through the Department of Biology at the University of Mississippi. Participating students would have several unique and exciting opportunities, including a summer internship with a successful forest restoration project in British Columbia, Canada; participation in collaborative research on forest restoration and fire ecology in northern Mississippi; coursework in forest restoration ecology, research methods, and professional development; and supported travel to meetings. Each student will choose to work with one or more faculty advisors (Drs. Steve Brewer, Jason Hoeksema, Colin Jackson, and Brice Noonan) specializing in particular forest ecological processes and organisms. We especially encourage applications from students interested in plant community responses to restoration (Brewer), belowground processes and soil microorganisms (Jackson & Hoeksema), and forest amphibians (Noonan), although all areas of interest will be considered. Collaborative research across more than one research topic is encouraged. Students will receive stipend support of $18,000 (Master¹s) or $24,000 (Ph.D.) per year and a waiver of graduate tuition through a United States Department of Agriculture graduate training fellowship. Fellowships are only available to U.S. citizens and nationals.
