Hi all,<br>
Jeff Chambers and I are seeking PhD students interested in working
on tropical forest responses and feedbacks to global change. Please
circulate prospective applicants. Thanks!<br>

Geography Department and the Energy and Resources Group (ERG) at
the University of California, Berkeley, have up to two Graduate
Student Researcher (GSR) opportunities for PhD students to
investigate global change impacts on tropical forests. These GSR
positions will focus on disturbance and recovery dynamics in
natural and human-impacted tropical forest ecosystems. The
successful candidates will become part of the </span><a

to improve Earth system model (ESM) projections of tropical
forest responses and feedbacks to climate change. Students with
experience carrying out ecological field research in the
tropics, and that have utilized tools such as remote sensing,
GIS or computational modeling of populations, communities or
ecosystems will be strong candidates for these positions. The
position is 50% time (20 hours/week) with two years of support,
and with potential renewal for additional years. Jeff Chambers
(Geography) and Lara Kueppers (ERG) will serve as advisors for
the successful candidates. </span></p>
