Winter Limnology: A Master of Science Research Assistantship is available at Clarkson University for participation in a winter limnology research program on Lake Erie funded by New York Sea Grant. The project will examine the phenomenon of plankton productivity in Lake Erie during winter and the ecological fate of plankton biomass. The projects will involve field work on a coast guard ice breaker during ice conditions and on major research vessels during ice-free conditions.
The research assistant will form his or her thesis on measurements of primary and bacterial productivity in the field and contribute to a team of researchers involved with linking winter productivity to summer hypoxia in Lake Erie.
Selected individuals will enroll in Clarkson University’s Environmental Science and Engineering Program.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications include a BS in Biology, Ecology, Environmental Engineering or related field. The ability to conduct field work on ships is necessary; this entails no food allergies and physical fitness appropriate for rigorous field work.
Assistantships include 24-months of stipend ($20,670 per year), full tuition coverage, and benefits.
The starting date is negotiable but will be from January 2009 until a suitable candidate is selected.
Clarkson University is an affirmative action equal opportunity employer.
