My GPA is good enough but my GRE score excludes me for this one....
University of Vermont: Developing methods for sampling mudpuppies. Position begins spring or summer 2008. M.S. aquatic-oriented student to conduct research at the Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. The Unit is affiliated with the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont (UVM). Incumbent is expected to develop a thesis topic within the framework of a project focused on developing methods for sampling mudpuppies. Applicants with knowledge of stream ecology, ability to problem-solve and think critically, and experience in multiple field and aquatic sampling techniques will be given priority. This study is funded by the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, the state cooperator in the Vermont Unit. One expected product of this research is the development of an effective survey design for the non-lethal sampling of mudpuppies. Other likely components will be to determine the distributions of mudpuppies in Lake Champlain along the Vermont shore and in Vermont tributaries, and determine age class distribution, habitat use, and possible seasonal movements. The student will be expected to work collaboratively with the advisor and state biologists. Yet, the student will be need to complete many tasks independently. Applicants must meet UVM admission requirements. An assistantship stipend is available and out-of-state tuition is waived. To be considered, please send a resume, research interests, transcripts (3.0 or better recommended) and GRE scores (unofficial copies OK, V+Q > 1200 preferred), and names and phone numbers of two references to: Dr. Donna L. Parrish (Donna.Parrish@uvm.edu), U.S. Geological Survey, Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, 81 Carrigan Drive, 312 Aiken Center, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 05405. Email communications are preferred. Posted: 9/19/07.
