MS Graduate Assistantships in Aquatic Ecology - Florida Atlantic
University (Environmental Sciences Program)
I have 1-2 graduate MS position openings in my aquatic ecology lab to
start in Fall 2010. I am looking for independent thinkers and
workers who are honest, hard-working and motivated to study aquatic
organisms and/or ecosystems. Thesis projects will involve wetland
research (related to the greater Everglades and its restoration) and
could range in specifics from population ecology to trophic ecology
or community dynamics.
The position(s) will be supported each year with a combination of
research assistantships and teaching assistantships (including a
stipend and a tuition waiver).
Qualifications:
The positions require a bachelors degree in biology, zoology,
fisheries, or a related field. A demonstrated strong work ethic and
the ability to work independently or as part of a team are
required. Prior research experience collecting quantitative data in
aquatic ecosystems is highly desirable. Ability and willingness to
perform physical tasks in remote settings with harsh environmental
conditions is absolutely necessary for these positions. Minimum
academic qualifications include GRE scores > 1000 (verbal +
quantitative) and an undergraduate GPA > 3.0.
Interested students should contact Dr. Nathan Dorn
(<mailto:ndo...@fau.edu>ndo...@fau.edu; 954-236-1315) before
officially applying to the Environmental Sciences program
(<http://www.science.fau.edu/biology/envirosci/>http://www.science.fau.edu/biology/envirosci/).
Please send a cover letter of intent, a resume or CV (including GRE
scores) and contact information for 3 professional references by
February 23, 2010. After considering the applications I will set up
phone interviews with a subset of the candidates.
