Subject: [ECOLOG-L] PhD research at UW-Madison - Ecological change in Pine
Barrens

Graduate Research Assistantship - Ecological change in Pine Barrens.  A 50%
time graduate research assistantship is available beginning in June or July
2011.  The work involves carefully resurveying pine barrens sites first
surveyed by J.T. Curtis and students more than 50 years ago to assess
ecological changes. We will also collect plants for genetic analyses and
measure functional traits.  The successful candidate should be skilled in
field plant taxonomy and vegetation sampling and have strong quantitative
skills. MS level preferred. The assistantship supplies a monthly stipend,
tuition and benefits for up to 2-3 years, perhaps in combination with a
Teaching Assistantship.  A valid driver's license is required.  Interested
persons should contact Dr. Don Waller, Univ. WI-Madison, Dept. of Botany
(dmwaller at wisc.edu; 263-2042), Dr. Tom Givnish (givnish at wisc.edu,
265-5718), or Sarah Johnson (sejohnson7 at wisc.edu; 265-2191).
