</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The Plant Ecophysiology and Modeling Lab seeks to hire three
Academic Student Employees to assist research projects addressing urban
horticulture, sustainable agricultural production, and landscape conservation
and restoration. We use plant ecophysiological and computer modeling techniques
at scales spanning from cell to plant to landscape to ask research questions
such as: <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">1. What impacts do mild and severe
drought have on landscape plant performance, morphology, and physiology?</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">2. How do plant-microbe interactions modify host physiology
to improve productivity and resilience to nutrient, water, and salt stresses?</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">3. How can computer models be used to predict changes in species
distribution, phenology, and photosynthesis in response to climate change?<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">These research questions inform greenhouse and field
experiments that test how plants interact with their environment and develop
computer modeling tools to test research hypotheses. Products from this
research are shared via presentation and publication, as well as through
community outreach. The Plant Ecophysiology and Modeling Lab strives to do
science that is just, fun, and that expands our knowledge of plant functions in
the environment. ASE’s will contribute to these efforts by assisting with
experiments and model development. Tasks may range from the field to the
computer console with movement between research projects and questions.<span></span></span></p>
