Two Graduate Research Assistantships are available at Penn State beginning Spring or Fall 2024 to study how anaerobic soils affect carbon and nitrogen fluxes in forests. This NSF funded project includes a vibrant, interactive group of graduate students, postdocs,
research support staff, and faculty from a range of disciplines including ecology, soil science, hydrology, and meteorology. Successful applicants will be encouraged to take full advantage of this interdisciplinary team. Research will take place in the Shale
Hills catchment, near PSU, leveraging abundant instrumentation and historical data.</div>

Both PhD and MS applicants will be considered. Interested applicants should contact Dr. Jason Kaye (jpk12 at psu dot edu), Ken Davis (kjd10 at psu dot edu, Yuning Shi (yshi at psu dot edu) or Jon Duncan (jmduncan at psu dot edu). Students interested in work
with Kaye or Duncan may apply to the Graduate Programs in Soil Science (http://ecosystems.psu.edu/graduateprograms/soil-science) the Inter-College Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (http://www.huck.psu.edu/education/ecology), or the graduate degree program
in Forest Resources (https://ecosystems.psu.edu/graduate/forest-resources). Students interested in working with Davis and Shi may apply to the Meteorology and Atmospheric Science graduate program (http://www.met.psu.edu/prospective-students/graduate-students-ms-and-phd-degrees)
or discuss other programs that may suit their interests. All of these degrees can be combined with the Biogeochemistry Dual Title Degree program (http://www.biogeochemistry.psu.edu/).</div>
