Graduate Assistantships: Zooplankton ecology, bioacoustics

December 2nd, 2009

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.

For more information regarding the graduate admissions process, see: http://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/prospective/graduate.html.

For more information about the project, contact: Dr. Joseph Warren, joe.warren@stonybrook.edu http://www.somas.stonybrook.edu/~warren/

Doctoral Traineeships in Aquatic Sensing

December 2nd, 2009

Kent State and Miami University of Ohio are now accepting applications for our National Science Foundation funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training program entitled: “Environmental Aquatic Resource Sensing (EARS): Basic Science, Business Education and Outreach”.

The EARS IGERT is part of the NSF foundation-wide interdisciplinary doctoral student training program. The theme of the EARS IGERT is training of doctoral students in environmental sensing, focused on freshwater resources, accentuated with business experiences, to develop professionals equipped for diverse careers. Students eligible for traineeships are those that will be, or have already been, successfully admitted to doctoral programs in one of the participating science departments (Kent: Biological Sciences, Chemical Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Geology; Miami: Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Microbiology, Zoology); international students are not eligible. IGERT trainees receive a stipend of $30,000 plus $10,500 for cost of education per year.

Details, including the application materials and frequently asked questions, can be found at our web page: http://bioweb.biology.kent.edu/igert/home.html. For more information, please e mail Heather Chapman, IGERT program assistant, at hchapma5@kent.edu. To ensure full consideration for a traineeship starting in Fall 2010, please apply before February 1st 2010: applications will continue to be accepted until all positions are filled. Deadlines in subsequent years will be similar. Please also make sure you are aware of and follow the specific deadlines and requirements for graduate admissions for the specific department of interest. Initial notifications will be made by approximately the 3rd week of February.
