Graduate research assistantships in global change research are available
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Institute of Arctic Biology, in
Fairbanks, Alaska. These research assistantships are available for
highly talented and motivated Ph.D. students to study biological and
interdisciplinary aspects of global change in high latitude regions
using modeling as a research tool. The assistantships can begin as early
as Fall 2001 and are associated with the NSF-funded Taiga LTER site at
Bonanza Creek, the NSF Arctic System Science Program, the NASA
Land-Cover and Land-Use Change Program, and the USGS Earth Surface
Dynamics Program. Students interested in combining research interests in
ecological modeling with interests in fire ecology, ecosystem ecology,
vegetation dynamics, soil dynamics, or remote sensing are strongly
encouraged to apply.
