Dr. Charles Kwit and Dr. Neal Stewart in the Department of Plant Sciences at University of Tennessee have an opportunity for a research assistantship-supported M.S. student to work on breeding experiments involving agronomic cultivars of switchgrass and their wild relatives, to begin as early as summer semester 2012. Prior experience in plant breeding preferred. This is a limited opportunity and is contingent on submission of qualifying application materials leading to acceptance by the University of Tennessee Graduate School and the Plant Sciences departmental graduate program.
