Graduate Research Assistantship in Dendroclimatology, DendroLab,
University of Nevada, Reno

Applications are invited for a Graduate Research Assistantship at the
DendroLab, University of Nevada, Reno, USA (see
http://woods.geography.unr.edu/ for information on the laboratory). This
is a 10-month assistantship including a stipend, tuition waiver, health
insurance, laboratory and field equipment, and travel support. The
successful candidate will work toward a Master of Science degree either
in the Department of Geography or in the interdisciplinary Graduate
Program of Hydrologic Sciences. The position will begin in Fall 2006,
and is guaranteed for one year, with a possibility of renewal for a
second year.

Applicants should have a BA or BS in Geography, Statistics, Computer
Science or a related field. Candidates with background in statistics or
simulation modeling will be preferred. Ability to work with statistical
packages, such as SAS or R, is particularly welcomed. The successful
applicant will conduct laboratory research on the reconstruction of
climate from tree-ring records, with particular emphasis on applying
stochastic models to climatic episodes. Dr. F. Biondi (DendroLab,
Geography), Drs. A. Panorska and T. Kozubowski (Mathematics and
Statistics), and Dr. L. Saito (Natural Resources and Environmental
Science), all of them at the University of Nevada, Reno, are Co-PIs on
this project. The research is funded by a National Science Foundation
grant (see
https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/showaward?award=0503722). Another
graduate student will also be hired on this project through the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

Information on the application process to the Graduate Program of
Hydrologic Sciences (deadline is February 1st) is available on-line from
http://www.hydro.unr.edu/. Information on the application process to the
Department of Geography (deadline is March 1st) is available on-line
from http://equinox.unr.edu/homepage/fbiondi/graduate.htm.
Candidates should also check the University Graduate School website,
http://www.vpr.unr.edu/grad2/, which includes information for
international candidates. Applicants are encouraged to contact Dr.
Franco Biondi by e-mail (fbiondi@unr.nevada.edu) or telephone (775
