I am seeking a motivated student to fill a graduate assistantship in the Marine Biology M.S. program (http://marinebiology.tamucc.edu/) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The position is available beginning in May or August 2018 and includes 2 years of research assistantship support. The focus of this assistantship will be on the effects of freshwater inflow variability on estuarine phytoplankton bloom dynamics. Ample resources are available for field sampling, experimental (mesocosm & laboratory) approaches, and or synthesis/modeling of existing data. The student will benefit from samples and field data already collected as part of ongoing (funded) water quality and plankton ecology studies in the systems of interest. Interested students should preferably hold a B.S. degree in ecology, marine science/oceanography, microbiology or a related field.
To be considered for the position, please email me, Dr. Mike Wetz at [email protected]. Along with a letter of interest, please send your C.V., unofficial transcripts and GRE scores. For more information on my laboratory and research interests, please see: http://wetzlab.tamucc.edu. Screening of applications will begin immediately and the position will be filled as soon as a qualified applicant is identified.
