One graduate student position (PhD only) will be available beginning in July 2012 to study landscape variability in forest structure, function, and fuels 25 years following the Yellowstone fires, as part of a Joint Fire Science Program-funded research project. This study will build upon and compliment an ongoing, long-term study of postfire succession in Yellowstone. The ideal candidate will be broadly trained in terrestrial ecology, but should have some background in plant ecology and landscape ecology; a candidate with experience and interest in forest fuels modeling is preferred. The position would begin with field work during summer 2012, and formal enrollment in the University of Wyoming would follow in the fall. If interested, then please contact Dr. Dan Tinker ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) in the Department of Botany and Program in Ecology at the University of Wyoming. Applications should be received by December 31, 2011. (Tinker lab website: http://www.uwyo.edu/tinkerlab/)
