First Year Camp Photos
September 5th, 2008
Check out the photos from our new first year camp. Students from the ENR, Forestry, and Forest Engineering programs
all take this course. 2008 is our first run at it and so far so good (good weather helps, but we’ll see what hurricane Hannah brings Sunday).

Graduate Research Assistantships Available
November 9th, 2007
Two or three MSc or PhD research assistantships are currently available in growth and yield modeling. The preferred start date is January 2008, however I am willing to wait for highly qualified students and would consider a May 2008 or September 2008 start date. Students will be working as part of a larger project to develop a Maritimes FVS-like growth and yield model. Students will be working with a team of University, Industrial, and Government researchers and foresters. Stipends for MSc students are 16,500 (19,000 for non-Canadian students) and for PhD students 19,500 (22,000 for non-Canadian). In addition to this funding, the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Mgmt have several entrance scholarships and teaching assistantships available. The University of New Brunswick offers Foreign Fee waivers and other scholarships to outstanding PhD students. Interested students should send an email expressing interest and background and a copy of their current CV to kershaw@unb.ca. For more information, please contact John Kershaw at kershaw@unb.ca or by phone 506-453-4933.
