[Linda T.A. van Diepen]

Dear all,

The Soil Microbial Ecology lab in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, has a M.S. graduate assistantship available starting in summer/fall 2016.

We are seeking a highly-motivated M.S. student to do research on community ecology and physiology of soil microorganisms in response to environmental disturbances such as invasive species, mining, and wildfire. A wide range of research topics are possible including:

  *    Soil remediation of contaminated mine lands.
  *    Role of soil microorganisms in restoration of forests after wildfire.
  *    Microbial interactions with invasive plant species, e.g. cheatgrass.
  *    Effects of top-soil stock piling on soil microorganisms and consequences for mine land reclamation.


The ideal candidate will have a B.S. degree in soil science, ecology, microbiology, environmental science or closely related discipline, and experience or a strong interest in soil ecology, molecular microbiology, biogeochemistry, and statistics.
For more information, please contact Dr. Linda van Diepen, Assistant Professor in Soil Microbial Ecology at linda.vandiepen at uwyo.edu<mailto:linda.vandiepen at uwyo.edu>.
Applications can be emailed to Dr. van Diepen with “prospective graduate student” as the subject line, and should include the following in a single pdf: 1) statement of interest, 2) complete C.V., 3) unofficial transcripts, 4) unofficial GRE scores, and 5) contact information for three references.
