Graduate assistantships in forest ecosystem ecology and global change at Virginia Tech
The Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for graduate research assistantships at the Masters or Ph.D. level, starting August 2013 or January 2014. Research will focus on how Southeastern U.S. forests can be managed to mitigate climate change and will broadly link the efforts of the Pine Integrated Network: Education, Mitigation, and Adaptation Project (PINEMAP; pinemap.org) to the Community Earth System Model (cesm.ucar.edu). Students with quantitative training and backgrounds in ecology, forestry, or environmental sciences are encouraged to apply. Students will have the opportunity to be involved in new university-wide graduate training programs in global change and remote sensing. For more information visit www.frec.vt.edu or contact Dr. Quinn Thomas (rqtho...@vt.edu).
