Graduate student teaching and research assistantships are currently available for the MS and PhD Environmental Science degree programs at Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV). Graduate students enrolled in the Environmental Science graduate program may also apply for WSUV GK- 12 Graduate Teaching Fellowships. GK-12 Fellows serve as graduate teaching assistants in a middle-school science classroom for an entire academic year and stipends are very competitive ($30,000/year). All teaching/research assistantships include tuition waivers as part of their stipends.
Faculty research focuses on conservation ecology and genetics, marine ecology, molecular biology, oceanography, environmental physics and geochemistry, animal behavior, and neuroscience. Please see our website for more information about our graduate programs: http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/sci/mses.html We do not accept students without a faculty advisor so please contact a faculty member in an area of research similar to your own about the potential for admission to graduate school: http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/sci/faculty.htm WSU Vancouver is located in Washington across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, and is close to the Cascades, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Ocean, and thus offers significant opportunities for research, a variety of neighboring institutions and agencies for collaboration, and an excellent quality of life. Degree programs are offered across all WSU campuses and students in Vancouver may participate in activities in Pullman. Priority applications are due January 10, 2009. Applications received after January 10 will be considered on a rolling basis. Please contact Brian Tissot for additional information. Brian N.
