The Fish Ecology Lab at South Dakota State University has an opening for a Ph.D. student in the general area of Ichthyology to start summer 2012.
Active areas of research in the lab include native and introduced fishes, and applied and experimental stream fish ecology. This graduate research assistantship will be funded through the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks to develop a physical and digital fish reference collection and a revised taxonomic key to the Fishes of the Dakotas, but students in the lab are encouraged to develop an independent research project that complements the central objectives of their research assistantship. South Dakota State University has an excellent graduate program in Fisheries with 6 dedicated faculty and 60+ graduate students affiliated with the Department of Natural Resource Management (http://www.sdstate.edu/nrm/index.cfm). Interested students should contact Dr. Katie Bertrand ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) by December 7th, 2011, with their CV, GRE scores, transcripts (undergraduate and master's degrees), and a brief statement of research interests.
