The Department of Earth and the Environment at Florida International University has a Ph.D. assistantship available for a student interested in the ecology of coastal wetlands. The ideal candidate will have some experience in vegetation ecology, plant-soil relationships, and remote sensing of large landscapes. The research will focus on recent changes in the coastal ecotone of the Florida Everglades, following on earlier studies in the Ross lab (softel.fiu.edu) that implicated sea level rise and altered fresh water delivery as important drivers of productivity and landscape structure. Assistantship covers stipend of $23,460 and tuition. To be considered for Fall 2016 admission, please reply by December 1, 2015 to Dr. Michael Ross ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) with a CV and statement of interest.
