Opportunities
The CC Lab is looking for student research assistants for the spring semester. The CC Lab is a climate non-profit based in New Haven. They spun out the Yale School of the Environment earlier this year but continue to have many ties to Yale. Their mission is to develop and support emergent climate solutions by applying scientific, entrepreneurial, and investment expertise. Apply by November 30. Details and application here.
Post Grad Opportunities
West Virginia University PhD position open next summer or fall to work on a NSF-funded project centered around how the legacies of past forest management have impacted contemporary carbon storage and climate resilience across Appalachia. This work is deeply interdisciplinary and involves collaborations across forest ecologists, soil scientists, forest economists, and human geographers. While one of the primary responsibilities will be to conduct surveys and sample tree cores across a network of forest plots, there will be a lot of room for the development of independent research questions. More information is available here.
The Uriarte lab at Columbia University is seeking a doctoral student to study the effects of drought on tropical forests in the island of Puerto Rico. Contact Dr. Uriarte at mu2126@columbia.edu. Please include your CV and a brief statement about your interests.
