PhD Assistantship: Fish Ecology

PhD student assistantship available to explore inter-population variation in early life stage recruitment dynamics and implications for intra-specific life history trait variation (e.g., maturation schedules, growth rates, and egg characteristics). Research will focus on fish populations in the Great Lakes and inland lakes in Indiana, and will involve an integration of field studies, laboratory analyses, controlled experiments and quantitative modeling analyses.

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 and MS 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 position will remain open until filled. 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 Tomas Höök (thook@purdue.edu; 765-496-6799; www.fnr.purdue.edu/faculty/hook/index.shtml).
