Title: Teaching/Research Assistant Position
Hi-I’d appreciate it if you would bring the following to the attention of any students who might qualify. There are real possibilities for dealing with policy issues here and I’d be willing to consider a science (geology or earth science) minor too.
Thanks!
Larry Davis
The University of New Haven graduate program in Environmental Sciences has one teaching/ research assistantship for a new graduate students in our Master of Science in Environmental Sciences program beginning September, 2005.
The Assistant will work on research in karst hydrology on San Salvador Island, Bahamas. The research has been on-going for 16 years and it involves a detailed investigation of the island’s natural “plumbing” and it’s relationship to current land use and future development. The assistant will participate in field work on San Salvador and so must be able to engage in strenuous activities in a tropical setting. Candidates for this position should have an undergraduate degree in geology or physical geography. Some experience with GIS and GPS would be a plus.
The Assistant will also assist in teaching laboratories (one or two) for the undergraduate Introduction to Environmental Science course and provide help to those students and ones in the graduate Environmental Geoscience course. He or she will also assist with field trips and class presentations in these and related courses. Candidates for this position should have an undergraduate degree in geology or physical geography. They must be native speakers of English or have attended a school (secondary or higher) where English is the primary language of instruction.
The University of New Haven is a small, comprehensive university with a focus on applied fields. The Environmental Science Program has faculty in geology, ecology, marine biology, and Geographic Information Systems. There are cooperating faculty in hydrologic modeling, bioremediation, air pollution chemistry, and toxicology. The department has a state-of-the-art, PC-based GIS lab, it’s own boat for work on Long Island Sound, and it supervises two University-owned research wetlands, one salt and one fresh. We are affiliated with the Gerace Research Center on San Salvador Island, Bahamas.
