Dear Colleagues, I am recruiting 1-2 M.S. students for aquatic ecology research at Eastern Washington University, beginning summer or fall 2014.
At least 1 student project would focus on the availability of benthic prey for White Sturgeon in Lake Roosevelt Washington in collaboration with the Spokane Tribe of Indians. Other projects might address ecosystem effects of invasive riparian reed canary grass or a variety of other local water resource management issues. Accepted students would receive 2 years of GSA funding (tuition waiver plus stipend of approximately $8,750). Summer financial support is also expected for the Lake Roosevelt Project, beginning summer 2014. Eastern Washington University is located ~15 minutes from Spokane, WA in the beautiful Inland Northwest, with a diversity of nearby natural habitats and outdoor recreational opportunities, including the Selkirk Range of the Rocky Mountains. EWU's Biology M.S. students have a broad range of interests, but many focus on ecology or natural resource management. Many of our graduates work in natural resource management or continue to Ph.D. programs. More information about the Biology M.S. program, including faculty, current students, curriculum, and application procedures can be found at: http://www.ewu.edu/CSHE/Programs/Biology/Biology-Degrees/MS-Biology.xml More information about my laboratory at Eastern Washington University is available from: http://www.ewu.edu/cshe/programs/biology/biology-faculty-and-staff/camille-mcneely.xml . For full consideration, complete applications to the Eastern Washington University Biology M.S. program, including GRE scores, must be received by February 20, 2014. Interested applicants should contact me directly at [email protected]. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks very much, Camille McNeely Associate Professor, Biology Eastern Washington University Cheney, WA 99004 509-359-7029
