The University of Alabama has an exciting opportunity available for a student to conduct their Ph.D. Research in The Plant Physiological Ecology / Global Change Lab at the University of Alabama (http://bama.ua.edu/~gstarr/Starr_Lab/Home.html). We seek a highly motivated graduate student to work on a newly funded project looking at the complex interactions between CO2 sequestration and CH4 emissions in Everglades National Park. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with scientists from the University of Alabama, Florida International University, the FCE LTER, and the USGS Park Service.
Students should apply for the Ph.D. program within the Department of Biological Sciences. The student's research interests should focus on plant ecophysiology, 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 a research assistantship for the first two years of the project followed by support through the University of Alabama as a teaching assistant in years 3 and 4. Highly qualified candidates may also 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).
