M.S. Graduate Research Assistantships in Native Plants Available at Utah 
State University

This is a research assistantship opportunity at Utah State University 
(Logan, UT) for two M.S. students interested in native plant ecophysiology 
and/or native plant materials development.  Our purpose is to perform 
research in support of development of restoration plant materials for the 
semi-arid Intermountain West, e.g., desirable plant/weed competition, 
seedling establishment, drought resistance, or genetic diversity. 
Students may affiliate with either the Dept. of Forest, Range, and 
Wildlife Sciences (College of Natural Resources) or the Dept. of Plants, 
Soils, and Biometeorology (College of Agriculture).  We have financial 
support, excellent field and greenhouse facilities, state-of-the-art 
facilities and equipment, meaningful interaction with land management 
agencies and the seed industry, and a beautiful mountain setting.  We 
currently have a native plant graduate group of about 20 students and 26 
faculty operating across four departments and four colleges at the 
university.  For more information, contact Tom Jones (435-797-3082,
