A graduate assistantship is available to work on aspects of root and whole plant physiology as part of a large multi-institutional USDA funded project that focuses on precision irrigation and nutrient management for the fall of 2012. Students will have some latitude in selecting a research project within the broad understanding of root water relations and nutrient dynamics across several economically important tree species. Previous experience in plant water relations, field research, or belowground dynamics preferred.
Applicants must meet all graduate admission requirements for regular admission to the Graduate School and the Field of Horticulture at Cornell University. Candidates with a M.S. degree preferred. Prospective students are invited to email a summary of their research, GRE scores, a cv, and names of three references to [email protected] before applying to the program. Deadline is December 20th. More information about my lab can be found at: http://hort.cals.cornell.edu/cals/hort/research/bauerle/index.cfm Formal applications to the Graduate field of Horticulture are due January 5th, 2012.
