From bmortazavi from ua.edu Mon Aug 10 10:14:27 2009 From: bmortazavi from ua.edu (Behzad Mortazavi) Date: Mon Aug 10 11:59:32 2009 Subject: [Employment] Ph.D. Assistanship Stable Isotope Plant Ecophysiology Message-ID: A Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship is available in the Department of =20 Biological Sciences at the University of Alabama to work on an interdisciplinary project at =20 Toolik Lake Arctic Research Station (www.uaf.edu/toolik). The =20 student=92s research interests should focus on application of stable =20 isotopes to plant ecophysiology, ecosystem physiology, or plant =20 ecology. The project will focus on developing a comprehensive =20 understanding of winter physiological processes for two tundra ecosystems. The student will have the opportunity to interact with =20 scientists from the University of Alabama, Florida International University and the Arctic LTER. =20 Working knowledge of stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry is required and familiarity with LI-=20 COR photosynthetic and Campbell Scientific equipments is a plus. Northern latitudes are thought to be sequestering CO2 emitted from =20 anthropogenic activities. However, the status of these ecosystems as a global sink of C in the =20 future hinges upon the physiological responses of ecosystem components to changes in =20 climate. There is overwhelming evidence for rapid climate change in the Arctic. Changes include the =20 physical environment, changes in carbon balance, vegetation change. Furthermore, warming in =20= the high latitudes is predicted to predominantly occur in the winter, and climate data =20 support that prediction. However, the vast majority of research on tundra vegetation has =20 focused on physiological processes during the short 2-3 month growing season, with only a =20 handful of studies of physiological processes during the 9-10 month cold season. Although =20 the rates of these processes are low, summed over the long cold season they are extremely =20= important. A comprehensive understanding of cold-season physiological processes of =20= tundra vegetation is critically needed given the large potential for further climate =20 changes in the Arctic. This is a fully funded assistantship that includes: stipend, health =20 insurance, travel and living accommodations during the research season at Toolik Lake. Interested =20= students should email pdfs of 1) a current Curriculum Vita, 2) statement of research =20 interest, 3) names, phone number and email addresses of three references as well as 4) an unofficial =20 copy of transcripts to Dr. Behzad Mortazavi (bmortazavi@ua.edu).
