Teaching Assistantships are available on a competitive basis within the School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management.  Incumbents assume responsibility for laboratory sections, grading, and other duties associated with undergraduate courses within the Natural Resources program.

Research Assistantships are available on a competitive basis for work on specific, externally funded research projects.  I currently have two available:

• Disturbance impacts on soil respiration, nutrient cycling, and trace gas exchange in boreal forests (part of the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Experimantal Research program):  I need a Ph.D. or M.S. student to help measure rates of biogeochemical processes following disturbances typical of the boreal forest (especially comparative effects of fire and logging).
• Direct and indirect effects of fire on decomposition and soil respiration in a boreal forest watershed underlain by permafrost (part of the Frostfire study, advised jointly with Dr. Rich Boone):  We need a Ph.D. or M.S. student to help measure direct and indirect effects of fire on below-ground processes, especially soil respiration and decomposition.
