<p class="MsoNormal">We are pleased to announce that we have up to three PhD assistantships available within University of Florida’s Agroecology research specialization. These assistantships are sponsored by the USDA/NIFA-NNF program. I have attached a description
with contact information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Minimum requirements include US citizenship or nationals, minimum GPA of 3.5, and minimum GRE quantitative score of 160. Some prerequisites may be negotiable. Dr. Dubeux (see attachment) will make that determination.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I greatly appreciate you posting/emailing this opportunity to your graduate student body. If you have specific candidates who may benefit from such an opportunity, we will be more than happy to discuss the program further with them. Our
goal is to fill the assistantships for Spring or Summer, 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
