am seeking a highly motivated MS student to join the Forest Hydrology and Soils
Lab in the College of Forest Resources at Mississippi State University
(Starkville, MS). The student will conduct research in the discipline of
forest hydrology to answer questions regarding the cycling of water and
nutrients in southeastern forests, how this status is affected by
climatological variability, and how anthropogenic and natural disturbances (insects,
fire, etc.) affect forest health across spatial and temporal scales. The
student will participate in extensive field research in addition to laboratory
work in the Forest Hydrology and Soils Lab on campus. The prospective student
should possess enthusiasm for field work, strong analytical and communication
skills, and attention to detail. The anticipated start date is August 2018.
Financial support is available for two years, including a stipend, tuition
waiver, and health insurance.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span></span></span></p>
