Assistantship - forage physiology



               GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP (M.S.- Plant Sci.) 
                    
                     Forage Grass Physiology/Management 

RESEARCH will concern dynamics of timothy growth, development, and quality 
in relation to N rates and timing, defoliation schedule, and possibly other 
factors. The focus will be on aspects of environmental physiology which 
relate to the commercialization of perennial hay crops on erosion-prone 
sites in northern Idaho. 

TOPICS could include developmental morphology, soil water impacts on plant 
performance and composition, NIRS analysis of forage quality, and modelling 
of weather risks associated with harvesting high-quality hay. Work will be 
conducted primarily in field plots, with excellent opportunities for 
additional controlled environment research. There may be opportunities to 
work with other species.

QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates should have a strong background in plant, soil, 
and related sciences and be capable of working independently in field and 
laboratory. Experience with research procedures and data analysis desirable. 
 
AVAILABLE June, 1997. Stipends (half-time) begin at $11,119. Nonresident 
tuition is waived.
 
TO APPLY: Please direct inquiries, cover letter, transcripts, GRE scores, 
resume, and three letters of reference to Dr. Thomas C. Griggs, Dept. Plant, 
Soil, & Entomological Sci., Univ. of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844-2339, Tel.
