The Baker Lab at Utah State University has openings for two graduate students with interests in Aquatic Ecology. One position will be associated with a NSF-funded project examining the influence of watershed structure on stream nutrient cycling and metabolism. The other position will be associated with a DWQ-funded project to develop scientifically defensible tools for stream nutrient criteria in Utah. Graduate students in the Baker lab are funded through a combination of research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and fellowships. Energetic and motivated students are encouraged to apply at the MS or PhD level for either project. Utah State University has excellent graduate programs in ecology and aquatic sciences with over 50 faculty with active programs and 80+ graduate students with interests in ecology and/or water. More information about the projects is available at http://www.biology.usu.edu/labsites/bakerlab/. Interested students should contact Michelle Baker at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more details and application information.
