Graduate Student Assistantship in Zooplankton Ecology
The Zooplankton Ecology Lab at LSU has an immediate opening for a graduate student to pursue an M.S. degree in a NOAA-funded research program to digitize the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) zooplankton sample collection.
The thesis research project will focus on the impact of changes in the copepod prey assemblage available to juvenile tunas. Using SEAMAP data, you will explore how differences in copepod size and taxa vary with the intensity of the Loop Current and how such fluctuations are related to fluctuations in the abundances of juvenile tunas. This research will be linked to NOAA’s Gulf of Mexico Integrated Ecosystem Assessment Program. Funding is available for three years at an annual stipend of $18,000. The position could start in mid-August 2010. Interested applicants should contact Dr. Malinda Sutor (msutor1@lsu.edu), 225-578-8055
