Funded MS Position in Climate Change and Fire Effects on Coastal Vegetation Marshall University in United States

The Palmquist Lab at Marshall University is recruiting for a funded MS position in climate change and fire effects on coastal vegetation.

This opportunity is centered on plant ecology, with research on how vegetation dynamics change over space and time and how ecological processes structure plant communities across spatial and temporal scales. The lab studies how global environmental change alters plant communities and uses field data, large observational datasets, remote sensing, and simulation modeling to address ecological questions relevant to landscape conservation.

Research systems mentioned include temperate shrublands, wetlands, woodlands, forests, and salt marshes. The lab’s broader interests span both basic and applied ecology, especially questions about ecological processes and environmental change.

Funding: The position is explicitly described as funded. No stipend amount, tuition details, or duration are provided in the post.

Eligibility / fit: Strong interest in ecology, climate change, fire ecology, vegetation dynamics, fieldwork, data analysis, and modeling would be a good match. The post does not list formal admission requirements, GPA thresholds, or language-test conditions.

How to learn more: The post points to the Palmquist Lab website for additional information about the group and its research. Interested applicants should review the lab page and contact the lab/supervisor with their background and research interests.
