Student research opportunities on San Francisco Bay zooplankton feeding ecology
A new NSF-funded opportunity for two graduate research assistantships in zooplankton ecology, at the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies, located on San Francisco Bay (http://rtc.sfsu.edu/) Estuarine zooplankton ecology: what do the juveniles eat? Collaborative research between labs of Wim Kimmerer (http://rtc.sfsu.edu/in_kimmerer.htm) and Sarah Cohen (http://rtc.sfsu.edu/in_cohen.htm). Funding for graduate students pursuing a Masters degree in the Biology Department of San Francisco State University begins Fall 2010. Students will work as part of a collaborative team, with one focused more on zooplankton culture assays and the other on molecular methods to determine diet. Sarah and lab members will be at the SICB meeting in Seattle in early January so let her know if you would like to meet there.
