Graduate Positions at ISU Stream Ecology Center

[Colden Baxter (Idaho State Univ)]

Ph.D. Positions, Stream Ecology Center, Idaho State University
The Stream Ecology Center at Idaho State University invites applications for
2 prospective Ph.D. students to begin in summer or fall 2008. The students
will conduct research as part of two broad, interdisciplinary studies—one an
investigation of ecosystem impacts of climate change in the Salmon River
basin of central Idaho, and the other a large-scale field experiment to
measure the consequences of salmon carcasses for the productivity and
diversity of linked aquatic-terrestrial food webs in the Snake River basin.
An M.S. degree in aquatic ecology or related discipline is preferred, though
not required. Candidates must be highly motivated, work well with a team,
and be willing to conduct research in wilderness settings. Desired
qualifications also include excellent academic record, substantial field
experience in aquatic ecosystems, a good quantitative background, and strong
writing and computing skills. Generous graduate research assistantship
stipends and full tuition waivers are provided. For more information contact
Dr. Colden Baxter ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 208-282-6098) and visit

http://www.isu.edu/bios/gradaps.shtml. Positions are open until filled, but
interviews are planned for late February-early March, so please apply before
then for full consideration.
