Ecosystem Effects of Forest Invaders
Syracuse University: The Plant and Ecosystem Ecology Group is seeking a PhD or MS student to participate in a project investigating the ecosystem effects of forest invaders. The objective of the project is to understand forest carbon and nutrient cycling in the context of invasive plant physiology and behavior, with considerable scope for independent research. Students with interests or experience in plant-soil relations, plant functional ecology, or biogeochemistry are particularly encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will join a diverse plant ecology and evolution group at Syracuse University and a larger ecological community that includes SUNY-College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Prospective students should contact Doug Frank ([email protected]) or Jason Fridley ([email protected]) and include a CV and statement of interest. More information about the Frank and Fridley Labs is at franklab.syr.edu and plantecology.syr.edu/fridley. Applications to the SU Biology program are due by Dec 31 (http://biology.syr.edu/graduate/programs.html).
