A M.S Graduate Assistantship in the Department of Biological Sciences is available immediately for a highly motivated student to work on a synthesis of winter arctic plant physiology studies. These studies cover a range of hypotheses regarding winter carbon and water exchange in vascular plant species. The student will have the opportunity to interact with scientists from the University of Alabama, Florida International University, and NEON Inc. A general knowledge of plant physiology and/or plant physiological ecology is required, as well as a solid background in statistical analysis of experimental data. This is a fully funded teaching assistantship that includes: stipend, health insurance, and tuition waiver. Interested students should send a copy of their CV, statement of research interest, writing sample, and unofficial copy of transcripts to Drs. Gregory Starr ([email protected]) and Christina Staudhammer ([email protected]), or contact Dr. Starr for more details ([email protected] or 205-348-0556).
