I invite applications from motivated students for work towards a masters degree at the University of Rhode Island beginning in Fall 2008 in the field of community ecology; tri-trophic, predator-prey, and/or plant-herbivore interactions are all of interest. Full funding will be provided either as Research or Teaching assistantships, depending on availability and student background. Applicants should be independent and highly motivated, preferably with academic research and/or field experience. Interested students should look at the following website for specific information on lab-related research: http://cels.uri.edu/preisserlab/index.html
Prospective students should contact me (Evan Preisser, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to discuss potential graduate projects and to set up an interview. Formal department review of applications will begin February 15, 2008, but interested students should contact me well before the application deadline. _____________________________ Evan Preisser, Assistant Professor Dept. of Biological Sciences, University of Rhode Island 100 Flagg Rd., Kingston RI 02881 USA (w) 401 874-2120 (fax) 401 874-4256 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
