POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

Oklahoma State University
Dept. of Natural Resource Ecology & Management
Graduate Student Research Positions (PhD or MS)
Stillwater, OK

Two graduate student research positions (PhD or MS) are available to study rangeland ecosystem ecology. In many rangeland ecosystems, the belowground population of plant meristems (the bud bank) plays a primary role in plant population dynamics, species diversity, stability, and resistance to invasion. Our project will test hypotheses on environmental factors regulating bud bank dynamics and their ecological consequences in rangelands across the Great Plains.

This research is funded through USDA collaborative funding with Kansas State University (D.C. Hartnett). In addition to stipend, benefits include tuition waiver (up to 6 hours per semester) and student health insurance. Tentative starting date is June 1, 2008.

If interested, please email a letter stating your interest in the program and a resume to:
