[De Angelis, Patricia]

Forwarding this research opportunity! According to Dr. Rush, it would
be open to someone with botanical interest and experience. This study will
focus largely on avian community ecology within these systems to a working
knowledge of birds and their communities would be most valuable and
appreciated.

Funding is available for 3.5 years for a Ph.D. assistantship in wildlife
ecology in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture at
Mississippi State University. Research will focus on evaluating numerical
(abundance and diversity) and functional responses (conservation status and
ecological services provided by) bird and plant communities in managed pine
states from stand initiation to canopy closure, including a hardwood
release treatment at 6 years post-stand initiation. This project will
involve field work and analysis of historic datasets. Candidates should
possess an M.S. in ecology or related field and be able to illustrate
experience and interest working with avian communities of the southeastern
United States. For more information, please contact Dr. Scott Rush (
scott.rush at msstate.edu).

Applicants should attach CV, cover letter, and contact information for
