Project Overview:

This internship will focus on studying the ecological consequences of northward 
Avicennia germinans (black mangrove) expansion into coastal regions of south 
Louisiana historically dominated by Spartina alterniflora (marsh grass). These 
foundation species play a critical role in shaping estuarine ecosystems, and 
this study seeks to examine how shifts in dominant vegetation influence the 
diversity, abundance, and diets of estuarine fauna including commercially 
important white shrimp, brown shrimp, and blue crab. This study will be a part 
of a broader research project that uses stable isotope analysis (SIA) and 
remote sensing to study food web response to mangrove encroachments. The 
selected participant will conduct independent research within the scope of this 
project guided by faculty members and graduate students in the Nelson Ecosystem 
Ecology Lab: https://www.nelsonecolab.net/science.

Ecolog-L Plant Ecology Internships at Archbold Biological Station, FL

2025-03-05 Thread David, Aaron (via ecolog-l list)

Position: Internship, Plant Ecology Program
Location: Archbold Biological Station, Venus, FL
Application: https://archbold-station.apscareerportal.com/jobs/2829950/apps/new
Deadline to apply: March 19, 2025
Start date: We anticipate hiring two interns to begin June 2 and September 2, 
2025, respectively

We seek to hire two motivated plant ecologists for 8-month internship positions 
in the Plant Ecology Program of Dr. Aaron David at Archbold Biological Station, 
located in south-central Florida. In the Plant Ecology Program, we study nearly 
two dozen rare species of endemic plants in endangered Florida scrub and 
related communities, and have unique, multidecadal demographic datasets coupled 
with detailed fire records. Our research emphasizes conservation biology, plant 
demography, plant-microbe interactions, restoration ecology, fire ecology, 
landscape ecology, and fire management. Our group consists of 3-4 full time 
scientists together with interns, graduate students, and collaborators, and is 
a stimulating and enjoyable workplace.

Our 8-month internships are ideal preparation for graduate research in ecology. 
Interns gain research experience by assisting with several laboratory projects 
and by conducting independent studies that offer experience in every aspect of 
scientific research, from project choice and experimental design to oral and 
written presentations. Most of our interns continue on to academic or 
professional positions, and many have first-authored publications based on 
their intern projects. Prospective applicants can learn more about Archbold, 
the Plant Ecology Program, and our internships on our website 
(https://www.archbold-station.org/).

Ecolog-L M.S. Assistantship - Interior Douglas-fir Drought Resistance Genetic Variability

2025-03-05 Thread asnelson at uidaho.edu (via ecolog-l list)

A Masters of Science assistantship is available at the University of Idaho to 
study genetic variability in drought resistance of interior Douglas-fir in 
northern Idaho. The student will join the Center for Forest Nursery and 
Seedling Research (CFNSR) and will be supervised by Dr. Andrew Nelson. The 
assistantship includes a competitive stipend, waiver of out-of-state tuition, 
full coverage of in-state tuition and student health insurance. Additional 
funds are available for research supplies and travel. Funding is available for 
2 years as a research assistantship.

The student will work on a project examining genetic variability of interior 
Douglas-fir as part of a second-generation Douglas-fir tree improvement 
program. Seedlings are being grown from various controlled crosses of different 
ramets selected for superior growth and form in a tree orchard at the Franklin 
H. Pitkin Forest Nursery. Most of the seedlings are destined for progeny test 
sites, but additional seedlings will be available to evaluate genetic 
variability of various drought resistance and drought avoidance traits. 
Additional measurements will include evaluation of cold tolerance and growth 
potential. Parent ramets are available at the nearby tree seed orchard to 
measure drought and cold traits. The student will conduct a controlled drought 
experiment in a greenhouse and potentially collect additional data at progeny 
test sites located in North-Central Idaho. Results from the research will 
contribute to ongoing tree improvement efforts in the Inland Northwest and lead 
to new understanding of potential trade-offs in growth and stress tolerance as 
variability in drought and other abiotic factors continue across the region.

The student will frequently interact with scientists, forest managers, and tree 
improvement professionals at scientific conferences, regional outreach events, 
and conversations with collaborators. The student is expected to publish their 
results in peer-reviewed journals. The student will have access to 
laboratories, field sites, and greenhouses at the University of Idaho and 
across North-Central Idaho. The labs are fully outfitted with equipment to 
measure plant physiology and morphology.

Required qualifications include a B.S. degree in forestry, plant ecophysiology, 
botany, or closely related discipline and an interest in working in forestry or 
tree improvement in the future. The successful candidate will demonstrate an 
ability to work both independently and as a team member, and be comfortable 
traveling and working in the greenhouse, lab, and field. The student must be 
able to pass a criminal background.

The student is expected to begin August 2025. The position is based in Moscow, 
Idaho, home to the University of Idaho. Moscow is in northern Idaho on the 
border with Washington in a region known as the Palouse. The area offers ample 
outdoor recreational opportunities within a short distance from Moscow.

Interested applicants should first complete an online application form 
(form). Once the form is complete, send a 
brief email introducing yourself and your interest in the position along with a 
curriculum vitae, contact information for three professional or academic 
references, and unofficial transcripts to Dr. Andrew Nelson 
(asnel...@uidaho.edu). Review of applications will 
begin immediately until a suitable candidate is found.

Best regards,
Andrew
