Graduate opportunities in ecosystem ecology Graduate opportunities are available in the area of ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, and stable isotope ecology. The project examines emission sources and impacts on alpine and subalpine ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. This is a collaborative project with scientists from the National Park Service and the possibility exists for field work in Olympic, North Cascades, and Mount Rainier National Parks. The successful applicants must be capable of field work for extended periods. Support is initially provided by internal assistantships and graduate endowments in the School of Biological Sciences (http://sbs.wsu.edu/index1.html) at Washington State University. Successful applicants will join a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary group with the opportunity to focus on carbon and nitrogen dynamics as well as the integration of biophysical sciences with policy (https://cereo.wsu.edu/c-nspire-certificate-program/#Overview). The WSU Stable Isotope Core Facility is also a state-of-the-art research facility with five mass spectrometers and supporting equipment. Washington State University is a land grant, comprehensive research institution with an enrollment of about 30,000 students with state-of-the-art facilities in ecology. The University is one of the largest residential universities in the West and is in close proximity to both the Northern Rocky Mountains and the Cascade Range. Pullman and nearby Moscow provide a friendly, small-town living environment. Collaborations also exist with ecologists at the University of Idaho, which is a land grant research university located eight miles away. For further information please contact Prof. R. Dave Evans ([email protected]) in the School of Biological Sciences.
