The Forestry Department at Mississippi State University, in cooperation
with the US Forest Service, Center for Bottomland Hardwood Research, is
seeking applicants for a graduate research assistantship to study tree
physiology at the M.S. level.  The research project consists, in part, of

of oak.  This project is part of a larger research program investigating
natural regeneration of southern bottomland oaks.  The research
assistantship will be for two years and will include an annual stipend of
$12,000 and full payment of graduate tuition.  There is also the
possibility of incorporating one semester of a teaching assistantship,
depending upon student interests and expertise.  Research will begin spring
of 1999, academic work will start in January 1999.  Qualifications are a BS
degree in forestry or plant science-related field; good written and oral
communication skills; and an interest in tree physiology or physiological
ecology.  Applicants should send a letter describing their career interests
and qualifications to: Dr. Mark E. Kubiske, Department of Forestry, Box
