A M.S Graduate Assistantship in the Department of Biological Sciences is available immediately at the University of Alabama for a highly motivated student to work on a synthesis of urban forestry projects. These projects seek to understand the growth dynamics of subtropical and tropical urban forests. The student will have the opportunity to interact with scientists from the University of Alabama and University of Florida. A general knowledge of forestry and/or urban ecosystems is required, as well as a solid background in statistical analysis, such as generalized linear mixed modeling and multivariate methods. This is a fully funded teaching assistantship that includes: stipend, health insurance, and tuition waiver. Interested students should send a copy of their CV, statement of research interest, writing sample, and unofficial copy of transcripts to Dr. Christina Staudhammer, or contact Dr. Staudhammer for more details ([email protected] or 205-348-1538).
