Landscape Ecology Lab welcomes Nathan Moore
Nathan Moore joins the Jones Center at Ichauway Landscape Ecology Lab as a PhD student at Auburn University, where he is co-advised by Dr. Heather Alexander and Dr. Jeffery Cannon. After completing his MS in Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University, Nathan brings research experience in soil carbon, rangeland ecology, fire, and landscape-scale disturbance to the lab’s work on longleaf pine and mixed oak ecosystems.
Now recruiting: PhD Research Assistantship in Forest and Fire Ecology
We are seeking motivated individuals to apply for a PhD research assistantship in Forest and Fire Ecology. The research will combine field intensive fuel, fire behavior, and regeneration data collection, mapping and processing, and capitalizing on existing and new data from the Ichauway Forest Dynamics Plot at the Jones Center. The student will be appointed as a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) but will assist with teaching undergraduate courses in Forest Fire Management and Forest Ecology. Although a PhD student at Auburn University, the student’s work will be co-sponsored by the Jones Center at Ichauway. Applications reviewed February 28, 2025.
MS opportunity: Disturbance interactions and tree mortality
The Landscape Ecology lab is teaming up with Dr. Timothy Shearman from Auburn University to recruit a motivated MS student to study how repeated prescribed fire influences mortality from hurricanes. Applications are due by March 1, 2024! Classwork will be completed at Auburn and fieldwork completed at the Jones Center at Ichauway. Please share this unique opportunity widely!
