Applications are being accepted now for graduate assistantships (M.S. and Ph.D.) in fire science at the University of Arizona, School of Natural Resources (SNR).

Fire research in SNR includes work in a wide range of vegetation types, from desert grasslands to subalpine forests. Projects linking fire history to vegetation and climate dynamics are a central focus. General research interests in our lab include restoration of fire as a landscape process, linking fire history and fire behavior, and reconstructing spatial and temporal properties of fire regimes. Current research projects are located in the southwestern US, Great Basin, and northern Mexico. Funded projects available for student support include work in the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico and the Pinaleño Mountains of southern Arizona in fire history, fire behavior, and fire-climate relationships.

Applications should include 1) a statement of interests and goals, 2) c.v. with copies of transcripts and GRE scores, and 3) names and contact information for 3 references. For general admission requirements to the University, please see:
