Are you interested in conducting research in plant ecology? Would you like to gain expertise in stable isotope and physiological ecology? Are you considering to improve your quantitative skills through ecological modeling? I am looking for highly motivated graduate students interested in conducting research on any topic related to plant niche diversity in water-limited environments. Examples of particular topics can be found at http://www.susan-schwinning.net/Lab/index.html .
Students would join our excellent master’s program in Population and Conservation Biology (http://popconbio.wp.txstate.edu/). The Department of Biology at Texas State University is a large and diverse department with 33 full time faculty members and 14 academic associates. Our particular strengths are in water resources research and organismal biology. Students would be partially funded through a teaching scholarship. Additional funding opportunities are available through several student grant programs. To learn more about the Department’s resources visit http://www.bio.txstate.edu/. Feel free to direct any questions directly to me: Susan Schwinning, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, Texas State University, San Marcos, TX 78666, Tel: +512-245-3753, [email protected].
