GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN FOREST ECOLOGY The Graduate Program in Environmental and Plant Biology at Ohio University (Athens, Ohio) is recruiting doctoral and master’s level students for the 2013-14 AY. The graduate focus group in Deciduous Forest Ecology provides training over a broad range of scales including: ecophysiology, population biology, community ecology, landscape ecology, ecosystems, and global change biology; along with more specialized areas such as: reclamation and restoration ecology, soil biology, conservation, invasive species ecology, etc. Faculty members currently accepting graduate students include: Jared L. DeForest (Ecosystem ecology, soil biology, climate change) http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/directory/faculty_page/jared_deforest/ Glenn R. Matlack (Population biology, forest history, spatial ecology) http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/directory/faculty_page/glenn_matlack/ Brian C. McCarthy (Community ecology, forest herb dynamics, invasive species) http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/directory/faculty_page/brian_mccarthy/ David M. Rosenthal (Physiological ecology, global change, invasion biology) http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/directory/faculty_page/david_m_rosenthal/ Morgan L. Vis (Aquatic biology, stream restoration ecology, acid mine drainage) http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/directory/faculty_page/morgan_vis/ Ohio University is a mid-sized comprehensive university located in rural southeastern Ohio. The quaint city of Athens provides a wonderful living environment with many opportunities for recreation and personal growth. The region is dominated by forest cover and presents numerous opportunities for all forms of forest ecology research. For more information about the department and our graduate program see: http://www.plantbio.ohiou.edu/index.php/index/ The deadline for application materials to the graduate program is 15-JAN-2012. However, prospective students typically have their materials in well before this date. Interested students are requested to contact a faculty member of interest prior to application to seek their support.
