MSc Graduate Student opportunity – University of Northern British Columbia

I am seeking a graduate student to work on the ecology of tree fall of trees killed by mountain pine beetle. This project will involve investigation of wood-boring insects, decay fungi, site and tree factors that influence the rate of tree fall. This project also provides an opportunity to learn about tree-ring analysis which will be used to date mortality and fall of trees.

Preferred start date is September 2010 or earlier, and a graduate student stipend of $15,000 per year is available. Please contact Dr. Kathy Lewis (lewis@unbc.ca) for further information.
