PhD Student Opportunity

We are looking for a Ph.D. student (ecology/silviculture) to start in the fall quarter of 2010. The envisioned project utilizes data from the Density Management Study of Western Oregon to investigate the relationships among thinning practices in managed forest stands, especially riparian buffer treatments, climate variation and moisture status of remaining trees, understory vegetation, and habitat suitability for amphibians. The study is likely to include field measurements, isotope analyses, and modeling efforts.

The position is covered by a student assistantship, including tuition and health insurance. For more information, please contact Klaus J. Puettmann (email) or Dede Olson (email).
