Multiple (2-3) graduate student (PhD and MS) assistantships available to participate in research projects exploring ecological dynamics of Great Lakes fishes. These projects involve an integration of field studies, laboratory analyses, controlled experiments and quantitative modeling.
Research topics include:
1) Recruitment and early life history dynamics: linking early life growth and survival of Great Lakes fishes to physical processes.
2) Intra-specific life history trait variation: inter-population variation of maturation schedules, growth rates, and egg characteristics.
3) Description and modeling of food-web connections among Great Lakes fishes.
Within these general research topics students will have flexibility to develop their own thesis projects. Selected individuals will enroll in Purdue University’s Department of Forestry and Natural Resources (www.fnr.purdue.edu) in West Lafayette, IN.
Qualifications:
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).
Salary:
Assistantships include stipend, full tuition coverage, and insurance.
Start date:
Exact date negotiable (sometime between March-August 2010).
How to Apply:
The positions will remain open until filled. For full consideration, please respond by 18-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.ag.purdue.edu/fnr/pages/thook.aspx).
