Research assistantships and tuition waivers are available for masters or doctoral students interested in zooplankton ecology and/or bioacoustics in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University. Students will join a research lab working on several funded projects including: measuring the zooplankton prey field in relation to the behavior of marine mammal (baleen whales) predators and an investigation into the acoustic scattering characteristics of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean (Antarctic peninsula region). Research projects will involve time at sea as well as laboratory experiments.
Students should have a background in marine science, engineering, physics,or biology. Computer programming experience (particularly in MATLAB) is extremely useful.
Students may apply for Fall 2010, although Spring 2010 entry is also desirable. Positions as a research assistant before enrolling in graduate school are also possible for Spring 2010.
