Graduate student (PhD and MS) assistantships available to participate in research projects exploring ecological dynamics of fish in Lake Michigan and inland lakes in Indiana. These projects involve an integration of field studies, laboratory analyses, controlled experiments and quantitative modeling analyses.
Specific research topics include:
1) Early life stage and recruitment dynamics (linking early life growth and survival to physical processes)
2) Intra-specific life history trait variation (inter-population variation of maturation schedules, growth rates, and egg characteristics)
3) Ecological effects of eutrophication (effects of nutrient loading and resulting hypoxia on fish behavior, growth, and survival).
Selected individuals will enroll in Purdue University’s Department of Forestry and Natural Resources (www.fnr.purdue.edu) in West Lafayette, IN.
Minimum qualifications include a BS (for MS position) or MS (for PhD position) 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.
Exact start date is negotiable (can start sometime from April-August 2009).
The positions will remain open until filled. For full consideration, please respond by 19-December-2009 and submit cover letter, CV, GRE scores (unofficial is fine), transcript (unofficial is fine), and names and contact numbers of three references to Tomas Höök (thook@purdue.edu; 765-496-6799; www.fnr.purdue.edu/faculty/hook/index.shtml).
