I am recruiting a PhD student to join my lab at West Virginia University 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.
