I am seeking a highly motivated MS student to join the Forest Hydrology and
Soils Lab in the College of Forest Resources at Mississippi State University
(Starkville, MS). The student will conduct research in the discipline of
forest hydrology to answer questions regarding the cycling of water and
nutrients in southeastern forests, how this status is affected by
climatological variability, and how anthropogenic and natural disturbances
(insects, fire, etc.) affect forest health across spatial and temporal
scales. The student will participate in extensive field research in addition
to laboratory work in the Forest Hydrology and Soils Lab on campus. The
prospective student should possess enthusiasm for field work, strong
analytical and communication skills, and attention to detail. The
anticipated start date is August 2018. Financial support is available for
two years, including a stipend, tuition waiver, and health insurance.
If interested, please contact Dr. Courtney Siegert at
[email protected] and provide (1) a cover letter discussing
interest in the research and applicable background experience; (2) a CV; and
(3) unofficial transcripts and/or GREs. Review of applications will begin
February 20, 2017.
