GRADUATE STUDENTS: Two positions are open until filled:

PhD in Plant Ecology—University of Wyoming and USDA Forest Service

The Laughlin Research Lab is seeking applicants for a PhD position in the Program of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Wyoming. This project is a collaboration with Donna Shorrock, the Rocky Mountain Regional Vegetation Ecologist at the USDA Forest Service in Lakewood, CO.

The objective of the project is to test the survival, growth, and reproduction rates of indigenous plant species across a range of climates to determine plant climatic tolerances to inform the management and restoration of native plant communities in the Rocky Mountain ecoregion. We will establish and monitor an array of common gardens from 4,000 ft to 9,000 feet in elevation across the Front Range in Wyoming. The PhD student will also have ample freedom to develop other projects within this context, including topics such as functional ecology, plant demography and life histories, species niches and distributions, community assembly, and ecological restoration.

Preferred qualifications of the successful applicant include the following: an undergraduate degree in Ecology, Botany, Biology, or related degree; a passion for plants and Rocky Mountain ecosystems; research experience in ecology; and an interest in learning quantitative modeling skills. Preferred start date is May 2025. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

TO APPLY: We encourage interested students to enquire about the project by contacting Daniel Laughlin (daniel.laughlin(at)uwyo.edu). Please email the following: (1) a one-page statement of research interests that addresses the preferred qualifications, (2) unofficial trannoscripts, and (3) Curriculum Vitae, (4) contact information for three professional/academic references.

M.S. in Botany—University of Wyoming and USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station

The Laughlin Research Lab is seeking applicants for a M.S. Botany position in the Department of Botany at the University of Wyoming. This project is a collaboration with Dr. Paula Fornwalt, Research Ecologist at the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The overall objective of the project is to evaluate vegetation recovery following disturbance in a subalpine ecosystem in the Rocky Mountains. The project will be carried out in the stunning Snowy Range in the Medicine Bow National Forest near Laramie, where a spruce beetle epidemic killed many of the Engelmann spruce trees. There is flexibility about what the student will study depending on their strengths and interests, but possible topics include Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole pine regeneration; ecophysiology of dominant understory plant species; snag fall dynamics; and fuel loading.

Preferred qualifications of the successful applicant include the following: 1) undergraduate degree in Biology, Botany, Forestry, or related degree; 2) passion for plants and Rocky Mountain ecosystems; 3) undergraduate research experience in ecology; and 4) interest in learning quantitative modeling skills. Preferred start date is May 2025. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

TO APPLY: We encourage interested students to reach out to Daniel Laughlin via email to enquire about the project (daniel.laughlin(at)uwyo.edu). If you would like to apply, please email an application that includes the following documents: (1) a one-page statement of research interests that addresses the preferred qualifications, (2) unofficial trannoscripts, (3) Curriculum Vitae, and (4) contact information for three professional/academic references.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: There are currently no vacant undergraduate student positions.

SPIRIT facilitates knowledge exchange between researchers in Switzerland and researchers in a range of low- and middle-income countries.

SPIRIT, the Swiss Programme for International Research by Scientific Investigation Teams, funds research projects submitted by excellent research consortia from two to four countries. Researchers from all disciplines can apply for a SPIRIT grant; the topics are chosen by the researchers themselves. SPIRIT grants contribute to the education of researchers in all participating countries. Special focus is given to equal opportunities and the promotion of women scientists, as well as to raising awareness of gender-specific questions. Approximately twelve projects can be funded per year.

Reading the Guidelines for the submission of SPIRIT applications is recommended.
