M.S. or Ph.D. Assistantship - University of Georgia, Warnell School of
Forest
Resources
I am seeking a M.S. or Ph.D. student to work on a research project using
advanced geospatial information technology in forestry. This student will
have
some flexibility to develop a research project focused on using advanced
techniques in remote sensing (e.g., high resolution satellite imagery, lidar
remote sensing) and geographic information systems (GIS) to study forest
structure. Possible areas of specialization may include: 1) estimation of
forest structural properties for forest inventory and analysis, 2) examining
changes in forest structure through time (including forest productivity and
forest carbon dynamics), and 3) exploring the link between forest structure
and
function.
Strong quantitative skills and a background in computers, remote sensing and
GIS applications are strongly desired. Experience with field data
collection,
statistical analysis and programming is also preferred. Assistantships
include
a salary (currently $18,562/yr for M.S. students and $20,063/yr for Ph.D.
students at 0.5 FTE) with reduced tuition and fees of $438/semester.

up
to two years of graduate study at the M.S. level or three years of graduate
study at the Ph.D. level. If you are interested in this position, please
submit

any
questions about this opportunity.
