A M.S. or Ph.D. position is available to begin in the fall of 2018 with
Amy Whipple and Liza Holeski (holeskilab.weebly.com), Dept. of Biological
Sciences at Northern Arizona University. Research will focus on
trangenerational plasticity in Populus trichocarpa, a model forest tree
species. The graduate student will use laboratory and field-based
approaches to investigate relative effects of genetics and within- and
across generation phenotypic plasticity of plant traits relevant to
adaptation to environmental change.
