Overview
Project Name: Forest ecosystem water use: Does species diversity matter?
Project Description:
Based in the Forests and Climate Change Group, Department of Biological Sciences and Climate Risk CORE, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
A PhD student is sought to contribute to an Australian Research Council Linkages (LP0992238) project investigating how biodiversity of forest ecosystems affects their water use and susceptibility to drought. The project involves establishment and monitoring of experimental forest regeneration plantings with different diversity levels, to be established in western Sydney. The role of this PhD student is to develop mathematical models linking plant species traits to forest stand water use and productivity, providing a theoretical basis for experimental work.
Eligible Candidates
The project would suit either a graduate in biology or ecology with strong quantitative skills, or a graduate in mathematics, statistics, computing, or physics with an interest in plant ecology. Applicants should have a strong academic record with Honours (First Class) or equivalent.
How to apply
Prospective applicants should, in the first instance, submit a cover letter detailing relevant experience, a CV and an academic transcript to the principal supervisor: Dr Belinda Medlyn, email: bmedlyn@bio.mq.edu.au, telephone: +61 (0)2 9850 8897
Application requirements
Applicants will need to complete a candidature/scholarship application form and arrange for two academic referee reports to be submitted to the Higher Degree Research Office. Refer to: http://www.hdr.mq.edu.au/information_about/applications for further application instructions. Macquarie University will advise the successful applicant of entitlements at the time of scholarship offer.
