I seek applicants for two Ph.D. positions in the Soil Ecology lab
Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at Clemson University,
SC, USA. The primary emphasis of one of the USDA-NIFA supported projects
is to evaluate the changes in soil carbon cycling, plant-soil feedbacks
and the potential legacy effect of invasive plants at regional scales.
The emphasis of the second project is on plant and microbe mediated
rhizosphere interactions, and soil carbon dynamics in conventional and
low input agroecosystems. The students would work as part of a multi-
institutional team of research scientists and postdocs.

The candidates who have an excellent background in biogeochemistry/
invasion ecology/ root biology/ microbial ecology or related fields are
encouraged to apply. An MS degree in related field is preferred. The
candidates should have a strong aptitude to learn analytical and
molecular techniques as required by the projects.

The positions are available starting January 2018. Interested applicants
research interests and prior experiences, an updated C.V (with GRE
scores), unofficial transcripts, and contact information for three
references. Review of applications will begin immediately and will
continue until the positions are filled.
