Graduate Research Assistantship (M.S.) in Forest Products and Wood
Quality, The University of Georgia, Warnell School of Forestry and
Natural Resources.

=20

A graduate assistantship (M.S.) in Forest Products and Wood Quality is
available at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources
commencing Fall Semester (August) 2007.  The general aim of the research
project will be to investigate the inclusion of various hardwood species
into existing Huber Oriented Strand Board (OSB) products that,
presently, are largely manufactured from loblolly pine.  Specific
research objectives will include the identification of hardwood species
that demonstrate the greatest potential for inclusion in existing Huber
products, and to design specific processes to facilitate the production
of hardwood / softwood panels with acceptable properties.  The research
will be conducted in close collaboration with staff at the Huber OSB
plant in Commerce, Georgia.

=20

The student will be supervised by Dr. Laurence Schimleck, Warnell School
of Forestry and Natural Resources.  Students that apply should have an
undergraduate degree in wood science and forest products or a related
field.  The assistantship will provide a salary of $16,309 in the first
year, increasing to $16,798 in the second year (0.4 EFT) and will
include the cost of tuition (student fees of approximately $588 per
semester are not included).
