We are recruiting two students (Ph.D. and M.S.) to pursue the Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management degree at the University of Wyoming in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. Research will investigate the consequences of plant genotype-by-habitat interactions for the restoration of western shrublands in Wyoming and the Colorado Front Range.
Applications are encouraged from prospective candidates with a background and interest in restoration ecology, plant biology and population genetics. Evidence of excellent written and communication skills and enthusiasm for field and laboratory research are a plus. Applicants to the Ph.D. program at the University of Wyoming should have completed a Masters degree. In rare cases, we will accept a Ph.D. student without an M.S. Graduate support includes stipend, tuition and research funding for three years and there will be opportunities to apply for additional funding. We are interested to fill these positions as soon as possible. Please send inquiries and questions to Kristina Hufford at [email protected] to initiate an application for study. Applications will consist of a cover letter and copies of transcripts, GRE scores, resume and 3 letters of reference.

Located on a high plain between the Laramie and Snowy Range mountains, the city has excellent access to public lands that provide opportunities for skiing, hiking, camping, bicycling, fishing and climbing. Laramie is near many of Colorado's major cities and university communities (Fort Collins: 1 hour; Boulder: 1.5 hours; Denver: 2 hours).
