Student Opportunity Announcements
M.S. Research Assistantship, Aquatic Ecosystem Ecology
I’m seeking a highly motivated M.S student to join my
laboratory in the Department of Ecology at Montana State
University in the fall of 2008. The student will have freedom
to develop his/her own project, but will likely conduct
research in one of the following areas:
• Stream ecosystem responses to changing riparian
communities in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
• Geothermal effects on ecological stoichiometry of stream
food webs
• Variation in primary and secondary production among
habitat types in large alluvial rivers.
Candidates must have a B.S. in biology or ecology, prior
research experience in aquatic systems, strong written and
communication skills, and a solid work ethic. Interested
applicants should send an email to me, Dr. Wyatt Cross
(wyatt.cross@montana.edu) with a cover letter and resume
detailing information on educational background, research
interests, and long-term goals.
