A M.S. or Ph.D. position is available to begin in the fall of 2018 with
Amy Whipple and Liza Holeski (holeskilab.weebly.com), Dept. of
Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University.  Research will
focus on trangenerational plasticity in Populus trichocarpa, a model
forest tree species. The graduate student will use laboratory and
field-based approaches to investigate relative effects of genetics and
within- and across-generation phenotypic plasticity of plant traits
relevant to adaptation to environmental change.
