The Steiner lab at Wayne State University is currently recruiting graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D.) interested in studying aquatic ecology. Research in the Steiner lab lies at the interface of population and community ecology. Current projects take place at the Kellogg Biological Station (http://www.kbs.msu.edu)and focus on the interactive effects of environmental perturbations and dispersal on the structure and dynamics of zooplankton populations. Students will be expected to develop independent research projects in an area of aquatic ecology or evolutionary ecology of their choosing. Financial support is available in the form of teaching assistantships and research assistantships.
Qualifications include: a record of academic achievement as an undergraduate; previous research experience in ecology or evolutionary ecology; the ability to work independently; a strong/genuine desire to conduct ecological research in freshwater systems. Wayne State University is an urban university located in exciting midtown Detroit. General information about the Steiner lab and the Biological Sciences Department can be found at: http://www.clas.wayne.edu/unit-faculty-detail.asp?FacultyID=1721. Those interested should email Chris Steiner([email protected]) with a copy of their CV (including GPA and GRE scores) and a brief description of their prior research experience and research interests in graduate school.
