Graduate Research Assistantship Announcement
The Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship at Colorado State
University is recruiting a graduate student (M.S. or Ph.D.) to conduct
research focused on adaptive planning and management for U.S. forests.
The specific topic of the student’s research could involve
comparative analysis of forest planning and monitoring processes in
the United States and internationally, investigation of large-scale
planning processes, analysis of implementation of the U.S. Forest
Service’s new planning rule as a model of adaptive planning for
ecological resilience, or consideration of the role of climate change
in forest planning and management.
We have initial funding for two years and likely for a third year. The
student would, with guidance, conduct literature reviews, develop a
set of research questions, identify appropriate research
methodologies, conduct fieldwork and data analysis, develop workshops
and/or webinars for practitioners, and write publications. The
student would be expected to identify a relevant research topic, study
theory to integrate into their research, develop skills for their
selected research methodologies, and work efficiently towards refereed
journal publications during and subsequent to their graduate program.
The position requires approximately 20 hours/week and includes a
monthly stipend and the potential for tuition credit.
We are seeking a student with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree closely
related to natural resource management, human dimensions of natural
resource management, public administration, political science, or
other relevant interdisciplinary programs. Familiarity with U.S.
national forest policy and management is strongly preferred. Student
must be able and willing to work independently and use their own
intellectual creativity to design a project, complete tasks in an
efficient and timely manner, and participate in a collaborative
research project with researchers and partners outside the university.
We seek a student who is excited about this research focus, fun to
work with, a skilled communicator, enjoys working in team settings,
and for which this position will support future career directions.
Evidence of intellectual achievement and the ability to think
creatively and independently are essential.
The GRA will be subject to six-month re-appointments based on
semi-annual review of performance as a GRA and progress as a graduate
student.
Please submit by Oct. 25, 2013 the following materials to Dr. Courtney
Schultz atCourtney.schultz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
• Unofficial transcripts
• Curriculum vitae w/ three references to contact
• Detailed Statement of Interest (2-page max)
• Scholarly writing sample (10-20 pages)
We expect to make a decision by Nov. 10. Interested individuals will
need to apply and be accepted into the Forest & Rangeland Stewardship
graduate program and the Graduate School at Colorado State University.
