<div class="">A degree in the life sciences is required, preferably in plant biology, ecology or remote sensing. Candidates with an interest in the measurement and model representation of plant structural and functional traits and model-data fusion are strongly
encouraged to apply. Students will be supervised by Dr. Shawn Serbin (<a href="mailto:sserbin@bnl.gov" target="_blank" class="">sserbin@bnl.gov</a>) and have the opportunity to structure their thesis research around a growing portfolio of research within
the TEST group. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct research in a diverse range of field sites spanning paleotropical and neotropical ecosystems. Financial support is available through a combination of research grants, graduate fellowships,
and teaching opportunities. Please send CV and cover letter describing research interests to Dr. Shawn Serbin. The deadline for applicants to the Ecology & Evolution doctoral program at Stony Brook is December 1st 2016 (<a href="http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ecoevo/program/application.html" target="_blank" class="">http://www.stonybrook.edu/com<wbr class="">mcms/ecoevo/program/applicatio<wbr class="">n.html</a>).
