Folks - as of May 4th, I still have a graduate assistantship that is available for a student interested in investigating the relationship between mosquito community dynamics and risk of disease transmission. Students could start in the Fall or Spring. The position involves collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of researchers that includes ecologists, epidemiologists, mathematicians, and medical entomologists. The successful candidate will have a strong quantitative background and, due to funding limitations, must be a U.S. citizen. Programming experience (R/Matlab/etc.) also is desirable, but an openness to learning is sufficient!. Interested students are encouraged to peruse the TIEHH website (www.tiehh.ttu.edu) and contact me (www.tiehh.ttu.edu/scox) for additional information.
Regards Stephen Cox stephen.cox AT ttu.edu
