• Graduate positions available - 5 Ph. D. positions. As a collaborating group of academic and government scientists, we are seeking 5 Ph. D. students to work as a part of a multidisciplinary team conducting manipulative experiments designed to examine the effects of multiple stressors in small wetland ecosystems. The focus of this NSERC funded research program will be on the potential effects of climate change on amphibians and other aquatic organisms alone and in combination with herbicide use. This would be the 3rd in a series of experiments conducted at the “Long-term Experimental Wetlands Area (LEWA),” on Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick Canada. All positions are contingent on funding – we will know funding decision by October 2010. Click here for more information. (offre affichée le 26/07/10)

• MSc. Geographic ranges, University of Prince Edward Island. All species have limits to their geographic and ecological distributions, but the causes of these limits remain largely unknown. While reduced dispersal, physiological limits and/or genetic constraints to adaptation are likely to play a role in determining distributional limits, more empirical research is needed to understand and predict where individual species can and cannot occur. An MSc position in evolutionary ecology is available in the lab of Dr. Karen Samis at the University of Prince Edward Island starting Sept. 2010 (option Jan or May 2011, and potential to convert to PhD). Dr. Samis is interested in local adaption and the limits to geographic ranges, and is looking for students demonstrating an interest in plant evolution and ecology. The potential project will assess fine-scale genetic structure and phylogeography in Atlantic Canada populations of Cakile edentula (American sea rocket), and survey large to small-scale spatial variation in habitat, life history and fitness to assess distributional limits from both ecological and geographic perspectives. This plant is endemic to coastal beaches, tends to occur on white sandy beaches from the high tide line to the open dune and is common in its native Atlantic range from Newfoundland, Canada to Florida, USA. The project may involve a combination of range-wide field surveys, common garden experiments and DNA analysis. Potential students should have some experience with field ecology and/or molecular genetics, and have demonstrated an ability to work efficiently and independently. Preference will be given to students who are competitive for Canadian graduate scholarships, but students who are eligible for graduate funding from an international agency will also be considered. Interested students are encouraged to contact Dr. Samis for more information, and to submit a pdf file including a cover letter explaining their interest and suitability for the position, their CV and contact information for at least two references to ksamis@upei.ca.  The University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown, the provincial capital (www.city.charlottetown.pe.ca ), is ideally suited for the study of coastal plants with numerous coastal beaches within a short drive of campus and a strong marine ecology program. The Biology Department is a vibrant community with a broad range of faculty, post-doctoral and graduate researchers focused on human health, environmental, wildlife and marine biology, and ecology and evolution. Graduate students have the opportunity to teach undergraduate labs, attend research seminars and interact with scientists in other research units on campus including the Atlantic Veterinary College, NRC and Agriculture Canada. Please see the departmental (www.upei.ca/biology) and university website (www.upei.ca/vpacademic/graduatestudies) for more information.

• Two Graduate Student Positions (Masters) in applied range ecology, Department of Natural Resource Sciences, Thompson Rivers University. Two - 2 year funded graduate student positions are available in the Masters of Environmental Science program at TRU (Kamloops, BC, Canada). The overarching project is based on evaluating the Grazing Response Index (GRI), a monitoring/management tool, specifically designed to facilitate planning of grazing management under fluctuating climatic, and therefore growing, conditions.  One Masters project will have a strong field focus and evaluate the GRI against plant responses in a number of commonly grazed native plant communities in southern interior of BC (for example lower, middle and upper grasslands) over two growing seasons. The other Masters project will have more of a modelling focus and use pre-existing and new data to evaluate the GRI against long-term trends in range condition across native grassland plant community types found in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and BC. Please view the site http://www.tru.ca/science/msces.html for information on the Masters of Environmental Science program at TRU. For a more detailed overview of this research or for additional information please contact Dr. Wendy Gardner (wgardner@tru.ca ) and Lavona Liggins (lavona.liggins@agr.gc.ca). To apply please email the above individuals with your CV, a brief statement of your research interests and an unofficial copy of your undergraduate transcript. Applicants need to apply by August 6, 2010 and be prepared to start courses in Kamloops in September 2010. Acceptance is conditional on the candidate being accepted into the TRU Masters of Environmental Science program. (offre affichée le 12/07/10)
