An MS assistantship is available starting Fall 2011 at Southeastern
Louisiana University to study benthic macroinvertebrate communities
of shallow water habitats of Lake Pontchartrain. Project goals are:
1) to assess how communities change along an east-to-west, salinity
and potential "oil spill impact" environmental gradient, and 2) to
characterize communities associated with sea grass beds, a habitat of
conservation concern. The successful candidate will be highly
motivated with research interests in conservation biology, community
ecology, and/or environmental degradation. Graduate Assistants in
the Biological Sciences Department are guaranteed two years of
support and full tuition waivers. Southeastern Louisiana University
is located in Hammond, LA, which is near both New Orleans and Baton
Rouge, and surrounded by a diversity of unique terrestrial, wetland,
and aquatic habitats. Applications must be submitted immediately to
meet the deadline of February 1. Interested students should contact
Dr. Janice Bossart directly
