<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We seek an enthusiastic and inquisitive student interested in the intersection between forest ecology and climate science to join the O’Halloran
Lab in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation at Clemson University, starting in spring or summer of 2023. The position is open to students of any science background and is a grant-funded, three-year Ph.D. Assistantship using state of the
art technology to study how the restoration of the iconic longleaf pine forests of the Southeastern United States could be managed to mitigate the effects of human induced climate change. The assistantship includes a three-year tuition waver and salary of
$25,000 per year.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">You will have the opportunity to contribute to our science through your own interests and perspectives while gaining extensive hands-on field
work experience in forest ecohydrology, tree physiology and micrometeorology, including deploying root and tree sap flow sensors, measuring soil carbon and water fluxes, measuring leaf-level physiological parameters, and working with eddy covariance sensors
and data. The research will leverage a new and expanding cluster of four eddy covariance towers in coastal ecosystems, including managed and non-managed coastal wetlands and longleaf pine forests, as well as the AmeriFlux tower at the Savannah River National
Laboratory (SRNL). You will also have great networking opportunities while working as part of a team of collaborating scientists from Clemson University (Principal Investigator Tom O’Halloran, J. Duberstein, T. Williams), Duke University (J.C. Domec), Portland
State University (C.W. Huang), the SRNL (B. Viner), and the US Forest Service (C. Oishi). The assistantship is also supported by the Environmental System Science program at the Department of Energy and The Nature Conservancy.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

is a public land-grant Carnegie R1 Research University in a college town setting on Lake Hartwell within view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about a 2-hour drive from Atlanta, GA or Charlotte, NC. Students in our lab take classes on the main campus and conduct
field work at the Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science (</span><a href="http://www.clemson.edu/baruch/"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:blue">www.clemson.edu/baruch/</span></a><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">),
located on the 16,000-acre (6,500 ha) Hobcaw Barony nature and research preserve. Hobcaw Barony is 35 miles (56km) south of Myrtle Beach and 60 miles (100km) north of Charleston with beach frontage on the Atlantic Ocean and is bordered by Winyah Bay and North
Inlet Estuary. Temporary housing in cottages is available on site while you conduct research.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The O’Halloran Lab and Clemson University aspire to create a diverse community that welcomes people of different races, cultures, ages, genders,
sexuality, religions, socioeconomic levels, political perspectives, abilities, opinions, values and experiences. We believe every member on our team enriches our research by contributing to the ways we understand and engage with the world and our environment,
and to discover solutions to manage our shared natural resources more sustainably.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Our lab also recognizes that effective mentorship has been shown to strongly impact student outcomes such as degree completion, increased self-efficacy,
and overall satisfaction with their education. We find the most productive and empowering mentor-mentee relationships are a mutual exchange founded on respect and prioritize personal goal setting with honest, rigorous, and kind communication. If this position
and our community of learners seem like a fit where you could do great science, we would like to hear from you!</span><a name="_Hlk27397930"><o:p></o:p></a></p>
