GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP - University of Virginia
Dynamics of Plant Communities and Nitrogen Cycling in Arctic Ecosystems

I am seeking a PhD candidate to conduct research on the interactions
between plant communities and nitrogen cycling in arctic ecosystems
where cryoturbation (freeze-thaw disturbance) is a key component of
ecosystem structure and function. The student will be responsible for a
combination of fieldwork and modeling analyses. The fieldwork will be
conducted in the arctic of northern Alaska and northern Canada.

A student with an M.S. degree is preferable, good field experience, and
quantitative skills. Preferable starting time would be prior to the
summer field season of 2002.

If interested please contact me, and consider applying to the graduate
program in Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia.
