<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The O’Halloran lab in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation at Clemson University currently has an opening for a Ph.D. student
starting in spring, summer or fall of 2018. We seek an enthusiastic and inquisitive student who is interested in understanding carbon cycling in any of several contexts: biomass feedstock production, managed loblolly and longleaf pine plantations, and coastal
wetland ecosystems. The student will have the opportunity to create their own research project out of several ongoing funded activities, including at AmeriFlux sites in Virginia (loblolly pine and switchgrass biomass feedstock plantations) and new eddy covariance
towers in salt marsh and longleaf pine forest in coastal South Carolina. Potential broad research topics include: environmental controls on managed forest productivity, coastal carbon cycling and greenhouse gas emissions, aerosol new particle formation, biophysical
climate feedbacks of land cover change, and longleaf pine carbon and water cycling. A student with sufficient incoming transfer credits will spend one year completing coursework on main campus and then relocate to the Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and
Forest Science to join the lab group at the coast and complete their fieldwork and writing. A full research assistantship (including stipend and tuition waver) is available for three years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
