We seek highly motivated graduates students to work on one of three active research projects:
1) The physiological ecology of Arctic plants during the extreme winter. 2) The role fire plays in the carbon, water and energy dynamics of longleaf pine ecosystems 3) Climate and water management effects on the carbon, water and energy dynamics of Everglades fresh water ecosystems Students may apply for either the M.S. or Ph.D. programs (Ph.D. student are preferred) within the Department of Biological Sciences. The student's research interests should focus on plant ecophysiology, ecohydrology, ecosystem physiology, or plant ecology. To be eligible for positions, interested students must meet the graduate admission requirements of the University of Alabama and have competitive GPA and GRE scores. Support is by teaching assistantships with summer funding opportunities. Highly qualified candidates may be eligible for fully-funded University Fellowships. Interested students should send a copy of their CV, statement of research interest, and unofficial copy of transcripts to Dr. Gregory Starr or contact Dr. Starr for more details ([email protected] or 205- 348-0556).
