Graduate student position- Seeking applicants to fill a graduate position (PhD) to study the effects of ungulate grazing on Yellowstone National Park grassland. The research will be supported by a Syracuse University-National Park Service cooperative agreement to examine plant and soil responses of Yellowstone grasslands to increasing grazing intensity by a growing bison population. The student will join a group of ecologists, both faculty and other graduate students, in the SU Biology Department interested in studying terrestrial ecosystems and the effects of climate change and grazing practices on the sustainability of grasslands. Field work on the project will commence in early May, 2011. TA support will provide a stipend (beginning at $22,780 per academic year, with summer salary usually available), full health benefits, and tuition remission. Applications are due to the SU Biology Department by January 31, 2012; however, applicants are encouraged to first send a statement of interest, CV, and GRE scores prior to applying to Dr. Douglas Frank ([email protected], 315-443-4529). Information about the graduate program at SU is available at http://biology.syr.edu/grad/graduate.htm
