We are recruiting in collaboration with Carolyn Lowry's lab for new MS or PhD students to start in fall 2024.

The research will focus how (when, whether) cover crop species diversity affects a suite of ecosystem services. The field work will take place at our long-term cover crop diversity experiment a few miles from the PSU campus. This long-term research site is host to a vibrant and large, interdisciplinary research team, including undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs. Opportunities for outreach adn on farm research are abundant. Students may to the Inter-College Graduate Degree Program in Ecology or other graduate programs where Dr. Lowry (Applied and Environmental Plant Sciences) or Dr. Kaye (Soil Science) advise. The assistantship includes a competitive stipend, full tuition waiver, and health benefits. Contact Carolyn Lowry or Jason Kaye for questions and discussion about the lab/position
