Apologies for any cross-postings.

==========================================

Graduate Research Assistantship in Dendroclimatology, DendroLab,
University of Nevada,
Reno

Applications are invited for a Graduate Research Assistantship at the
DendroLab,
University of Nevada, Reno, USA (see http://woods.geography.unr.edu/ for
information on
the laboratory). This is a 10-month assistantship including a stipend,
tuition waiver,
health insurance, laboratory and field equipment, and travel support.
The successful
candidate will work toward a Master of Science degree either in the
Department of
Geography or in the interdisciplinary Graduate Program of Hydrologic
Sciences. The
position will begin in Fall 2006, and is guaranteed for one year, with a
possibility of
renewal for a second year.

Applicants should have a BA or BS in Geography, Statistics, Computer
Science or a related
field. Candidates with background in statistics or simulation modeling
will be preferred.
Ability to work with statistical packages, such as SAS or R, is
particularly welcomed. The
successful applicant will conduct laboratory research on the
reconstruction of climate
from tree-ring records, with particular emphasis on applying stochastic
models to climatic
episodes. Dr. F. Biondi (DendroLab, Geography), Drs. A. Panorska and T.
Kozubowski
(Mathematics and Statistics), and Dr. L. Saito (Natural Resources and
Environmental
Science), all of them at the University of Nevada, Reno, are Co-PIs on
this project. The
research is funded by a National Science Foundation grant (see
https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/showaward?award=0503722). Another
graduate student
will also be hired on this project through the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics.

Information on the application process to the Graduate Program of
Hydrologic Sciences
(deadline is February 1st) is available on-line from
