The Department of Environmental Science and Policy at Plymouth State University in NH is inviting applications for 3 MS graduate assistantships. There are 2 Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA) and 1 Graduate Support Assistantship (GSA) available, all include a stipend of $5,331 and 12 credits of graduate tuition for AY18. The positions are funded for one year with the expectation of continuation to second year.
GTAs will assist with undergraduate courses in ESP - preparing and teaching labs, organizing field expeditions, teaching a unit/module, and leading study groups. Some of those courses are Intro to ESP I, Foundations of Environmental Policy, Hydrology, and ESP Seminar. A valid US driver’s license is required. The GSA will be coordinate aspects of the “Forest to Forest: Bicknell’s Thrush” project, supervised by Mary Ann McGarry. The project addresses the complexity of promoting conservation of a migratory bird species that breeds in the high mountains of the Northeast and winters on the island of Hispaniola. The GSA will help organize, implement, evaluate, and archive components of the project activities- including a conference and exhibit taking place over the 2017-’18 academic year. The project is interdisciplinary and multicultural involving English, French, and Spanish speaking communities in multiple countries across two hemispheres. The opportunity exists for the student to pursue an aspect of the topic for his/her MS thesis. GAs are available only to full-time students enrolled in the MS in ESP program. It is beneficial for the applicant to target their application towards a specific faculty and their current research programs. Please submit applications to PSU’s Graduate Studies. For more information about the MS in ESP, contact the MS in ESP Program Coordinator, June Hammond Rowan ([email protected]).
