The Department of Environmental Science at Baylor University is accepting applications for interdisciplinary M.S. and Ph.D. graduate assistantships. Students mentored by faculty in the environmental sciences at Baylor often engage in interdisciplinary research projects involving multiple faculty members from several departments. Faculty expertise includes air and water quality, climate change, environmental toxicology and chemistry, risk assessment, applied ecology, and ecosystem management. Student research projects often integrate across multiple disciplines, involve laboratory and field studies, and examine factors compromising environmental and human health. Job placement and presentation and publication records of environmental science students are excellent.
State-of-the-science laboratories, core research facilities, and instrumentation are available in the Baylor Sciences Building (www.baylor.edu/bsb). Successful candidates will receive competitive stipends, health insurance and other benefits, including a full tuition waiver. Positions begin in Summer or Fall 2012, though Profs. George P. Cobb and Cole W. Matson are recruiting students for Spring 2012. Prospective students should contact graduate faculty mentors prior to submitting an application: http://www.baylor.edu/environmentalscience/index.php?id=85401.
