MS assistantships available to participate in two funded research projects. 1) Work to understand the mechanisms leading to the decline of Diporeia (a native amphipod) in the Great Lakes. 2) Study the bottlenecks limiting production of important fish species in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. Both assistantships will involve a combination of field collections and laboratory analysis.
Selected individual(s) will enroll in Purdue University’s Department of Forestry and Natural Resources (www.fnr.purdue.edu) in West Lafayette, IN. Student(s) will interact with a diversity of researchers from multiple institutions (Purdue University, NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, Univ. of Michigan’s Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research, Limno-Tech Inc.).
Minimum qualifications include a BS in Biology, Ecology, Fisheries Science, or related field; GPA of 3.2 or greater; and above average GRE scores (at least 50th percentile for quantitative and verbal; at least 4.0 for analytical writing).
Assistantships include 12-month stipend, full tuition coverage, and insurance.
The preferred start date for the Diporeia project is August 2008. The preferred start date for the Saginaw Bay project is January 2009.
For full consideration, please submit cover letter, CV, GRE scores (unofficial is fine), transcript (unofficial is fine), and names and contact numbers of three references to Dr. Tomas Höök (thook@umich.edu; 734-741-2388) by 26-May-2008. Tomas Höök, currently a University of Michigan Research Scientist, will join the Purdue faculty in July 2008 (www.fnr.purdue.edu/faculty/hook/index.shtml).
