A position at either the post-doc or PhD (graduate research assistantship) level is available in the lab of Dr. Paul Stoy at Montana State University beginning January, 2011 (flexible). Funding will be provided in part by an NSF-supported project that seeks to apply Maximum Entropy and Multiresolution techniques to scaling challenges in ecosystem and physiological ecology, building upon recent successful MaxEnt applications in population and community ecology (e.g. Harte, J. et al. 2009. Ecology Letters 12:789-797). Expertise in remote sensing and geostatistics is preferred. More information regarding the laboratory is available at watershed.montana.edu/flux/Home.html. Research will be carried out in conjunction with the Brunsell lab at Kansas University: www.people.ku.edu/~brunsell/KU_Biometeorology_Lab/KU_Biometeorology.html. Please send a CV, contact information for three references, and a brief description of research experience and interests, including for PhD applicants a short list of reasons why you are interested in attending graduate school, to [email protected]. Please do not hesitate to write with requests for additional information.
