Subject: Ph.D. opening - Restoration Ecology and Population Genetics

Please forward to job boards and anyone who might be interested.  Thanks.

We are recruiting a Ph.D. student to study ecological genetic and 
landscape approaches to mountain mahogany shrubland restoration in the 
labs of Dr. Kristina Hufford and Dr. Pete Stahl at the University of 
Wyoming.  Research will investigate genotype-environment interactions 
along a latitudinal transect of the mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus 
montanus) range to test predictions for population divergence and seed 
collection zones for restoration.

There will be opportunities for the Ph.D. student to develop novel 
research directions within the framework of the study program, and we 
encourage applications from prospective candidates with a background and 
interest in restoration ecology and population biology or genetics. 
Evidence of excellent written and communication skills and enthusiasm for 
field and laboratory research are a plus.

Qualifications for the position include a strong academic record and an 
M.S. degree.  In rare cases, we will consider students without a Masters. 
The graduate assistantship includes stipend, tuition and research support 
for 3 years and opportunities will exist to apply for additional funding.

We are interested to fill this position as soon as possible and 
applications should be received by November 15, 2012 for full 
consideration.  Desired start date is January 2012 - but there is some 
flexibility.

Applications will consist of a cover letter and copies of transcripts, 
GRE scores, resume and 3 letters of reference.  For more information 
about application to the UW graduate program, please visit:

Send inquiries and questions to:

for study.
