A graduate research assistantship is available starting fall semester 2012. The
project involves application of ground-penetrating radar to quantify root
biomass and spatial distribution. The research will be conducted at the
Blackwater Ecologic Preserve in Virginia and at two sites in Florida (Kennedy
Space Center and the Disney Wilderness Preserve). A doctoral student is
preferred but a master’s student will be considered. Strong quantitative and
instrumentation skills are required. Successful applicants would develop their
master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation around the research. The financial aid
package is $22,000 per year plus full tuition waiver for a doctoral student. If
interested, submit a resume with cover letter (include GPA and GRE scores) to
Dr. Frank P. Day, Professor and Eminent Scholar, Department of Biological
Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 23529
