The Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia, Athens, invites applications from highly motivated and enthusiastic students for a Ph.D. Assistantship starting in Summer/Fall 2025 under the supervision of Dr. Caterina Villari. The project will focus on needle diseases of southern pines. A competitive Ph.D. assistantship, benefits package, and a full tuition waiver will be provided for 4 years.
The student’s project will focus on integrated pest management of brown spot needle blight on loblolly pine commercial forests, with a focus on fungicide use and silvicultural management. The research project is with the Southern Pine Health Research Cooperative at the Warnell School ( https://lnkd.in/gRX8vunS ). Extensive travel and fieldwork in the Southern US will be required. A M.S. degree in a related field, such as forestry or forest pathology, is a prerequisite for this position. The ideal candidate will possess experience with forest management, silviculture, and forest health (both pathology and entomology). GIS and spatial modeling skills, as well as experience with pesticide applications, are a bonus. This project is a close collaboration with Dr. Elizabeth McCarty, Dr. Stephen Kinane, and Dr. Kamal Gandhi at the University of Georgia.
Interested students should submit a statement of interest, current CV along with contact information for three references, and unofficial transcripts to Dr. Caterina Villari ( [email protected] ). Obtaining the position is contingent upon acceptance into the graduate program of the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources ( https://lnkd.in/g2Qaq9aZ ).
