Graduate Student Opportunities in Aquatic Sciences at The Ohio State University
The School of Environment & Natural Resources (SENR) at The Ohio State University (https://senr.osu.edu) is recruiting outstanding doctoral and master’s graduate student applicants in Aquatic Sciences for Fall 2014. Our program offers the opportunity to pursue and integrate basic and applied research at multiple levels of ecological organization from the individual to ecosystems to landscapes. Current research strengths among faculty in the aquatics program include community and population ecology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition and behavior of fish and invertebrates, hydrology and geomorphology, trophic dynamics, and the ecological linkages between land and water. In addition to our individual research programs, collectively, we work to develop solutions to pressing needs in freshwater conservation and management including urbanization, loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services and restoration, biological invasions, eutrophication, aquaculture, and fisheries management. Multiple laboratory facilities support our research, teaching, and outreach activities, including SENR’s Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park (ORWRP) (http://senr.osu.edu/research/schiermeier-olentangy-river-wetland-research-park). To be considered for competitive fellowship opportunities, applications must be completed by January 7, 2014 for domestic applicants and November 30, 2013 for international applicants. Each candidate must contact the specific faculty member that most strongly aligns with his/her proposed research interests prior to submitting an application. Aquatics Sciences Faculty members considering graduate student applications for Fall 2014 include: · Dr. Konrad Dabrowski (http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/konrad-dabrowski ) · Dr. Suzanne Gray (http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/suzanne-gray ) · Dr. Kris Jaeger (http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/kristin-jaeger) · Dr. Lauren Pintor (http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/lauren-pintor) · Dr. Mazeika Sullivan (http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/mazeika-sullivan ) General information and questions regarding the SENR Graduate Program and application process may be addressed to the Graduate Program Coordinator, Michelle Smith ([email protected]) or found on the program’s website at (http://senr.osu.edu/graduate/prospective-graduate-students).
