Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Graduate assistantships: soil ecology and applied plant
ecology
Soil Ecology Graduate Assistantship - funding is available for a
self-motivated PhD student to develop a project within an agroecosystem
context focusing on the role of microbial communities in the rhizosphere in
carbon sequestration and nutrient mineralization. The PhD at Penn State
University can be awarded in Ecology, Plant and Soil Sciences, or
Horticulture. Contact Roger Koide ([log in to unmask]) or David Mortensen
([log in to unmask]) for more information.
Applied Plant Ecology Graduate Assistantship - funding is available for a
student with interdisciplinary interests in wild plant floral resources and
the role they play in provisioning wild and commercial bee populations. Work
is underway to quantify the extent to which unmanaged field edges support
bee populations which in turn provide pollination services to adjacent fruit
orchards. Candidates would pursue their degree in Penn State's Ecology
Inter College Graduate Program. Interested candidates are encouraged to
contact David Mortensen ([log in to unmask]) for more information.
