MS student opportunity
We seek a highly motivated student to develop and carry out a field
study on the social organization of the Taiwan field vole. The research
will be part of a M.S. thesis project supervised by Dr. Loren Hayes at
the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Pending funding, the field work
will be carried out in Taiwan with Dr. Y. Kirk Lin (National Taiwan
University) during June-August 2009. The student will be expected to
write a NSF EAPSI proposal
(http://nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf07584) during
his/her first semester at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
We seek individuals with excellent writing skills, a strong background
in biology, ability to work in a multicultural setting, and a desire to
conduct publishable research. Preference will be given to students who
can compose a preliminary research proposal based on information
provided by the co-investigators as part of an application for admission
to the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Prospective applicants should
be U.S. citizens.
