Graduate Assistantship (M.S.) in Landscape Ecology Spatial Modeling of Mercury Emissions University of Nevada – Reno, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science, Landscape Ecology Lab (http://www.cabnr.unr.edu/weisberg/index.htm). A graduate research assistantship is available starting Fall 2004. The student may pursue an M.S. degree in either Natural Resources and Environmental Science (http://www.ag.unr.edu/nres/Graduates/index.htm/), or in Environmental Sciences and Health (http://www.unr.edu/idgrad/esh/). The goal of the research project is to scale up field-based measurements of mercury emissions to statewide and, ultimately, national scales. This work represents the synthesis stage of a large, interdisciplinary project funded by the U.S. EPA STAR program on the biogeochemistry of mercury. Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in a relevant scientific discipline, with strong quantitative skills, computer skills, and a background in GIS applications. Previous experience in geostatistical analysis and/or remote sensing would be desirable. Coursework in biogeochemistry is also desirable. Minimum requirements are a GPA of 3.2 and a combined GRE score of 1200. The assistantship includes a starting salary of $1300/ month, pays health insurance benefits, and covers the cost of tuition.
