Graduate position in aquatic ecology at Saint Louis University A graduate student position in aquatic ecology (M.S. or Ph.D.) is available in the Department of Biology at Saint Louis University in the lab of Dr. Jason Knouft. Current research in the lab is generally focused on the application of GIS techniques to identify the factors regulating diversity across spatial scales. The student is expected to develop independent research efforts while having the opportunity to work on several funded projects which are detailed at http://pages.slu.edu/faculty/jknouft/index.htm. GIS experience is not a requirement of the position; however, the student should have an interest in learning and applying these techniques to questions in aquatic ecology. Preference will be given to applicants interested in working on fishes, crayfishes, or mussels.
The student will be primarily supported by a research assistantship which includes a 9-month salary, tuition, and health benefits. Potential applicants should email a brief statement of research interests and a CV as soon as possible to Dr. Jason Knouft ([email protected]).
