I am currently seeking one new Ph.D. student interested in studying tropical ecosystem biogeochemistry to begin in the spring of 2014. For more info, please click HERE. Former MS student Jon Leff's recent paper in Global Change Biology is a Biology Faculty of 1000 selection for special significance in the field! (PDF here) I am now a member of UM's new Systems Ecology Graduate degree program. Learn more about student opportunities in the program HERE. Silvia Alvarez-Clare, a freshly-minted Ph.D., was recently awarded an NSF Postdoc to investigate C and nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and will join our lab in July. Welcome, Silvia!

Prospective Students Graduate Student Opportunities in Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry, Department of Ecosystem & Conservation Sciences, University of Montana, Missoula, MT Graduate student opportunities: I am continuously looking for intelligent, creative, and highly motivated students interested in developing independent projects (M.S. or Ph.D.) in terrestrial ecosystem ecology and/or soil biogeochemical cycling. Students will be encouraged to contribute to ongoing research in tropical rain forest ecosystems, or to developing projects that address questions that are locally or regionally focused. Aspiring Ph.D. students interested in pursing research in the following areas are especially encouraged to contact me: i) the effects of global environmental change on soil carbon cycling, nutrient cycling and ecosystem processes;, ii) links between microbial community structure and soil biogeochemical processes; iii) the relationships between aboveground and belowground diversity and ecosystem processes. Students with experience using molecular microbiological techniques will be given especially strong consideration. In general, the most competitive candidates will have a strong record of academic excellence, some prior field and/or laboratory experience, and a demonstrated interest in soils and/or ecosystems research. If you are interested in discussing specific opportunities, please contact me directly via email at: cory.cleveland@umontana.edu, and please include a current resume or CV and a brief letter of interest, including research interests, professional goals and prior experience.
