Thanks, Steve Brewer M.S. Fellowship in Forest Restoration & Microbial Ecology A fellowship is available for a student to pursue a Master of Science degree studying microbial ecology in the context of forest restoration and management through the Department of Biology at the University of Mississippi. The participating student would join a cohort of three other graduate students with different organismal foci, all of whom will participate in a comprehensive graduate training program in forest restoration ecology. Participating students will have several unique and exciting opportunities, including a summer internship with a successful forest restoration project in British Columbia, Canada; participation in collaborative research on forest restoration and fire ecology in northern Mississippi; coursework in forest restoration ecology, research methods, and professional development; and supported travel to professional meetings. The M.S. fellow would join the research laboratory of Dr. Colin Jackson, but might also find opportunities for collaborative research with Drs. Steve Brewer, Jason Hoeksema, and Brice Noonan. The fellow will receive stipend support of $17,000 annually for 2 years, health insurance, and a waiver of graduate tuition through a United States Department of Agriculture graduate training fellowship, and additional support in the form of a teaching assistantship will be available if necessary.
