[MARMAM] Funded Graduate Positions in Marine Conservation

[Cathy Schaeff]

We have a number of funded graduate positions at the master's level open 
in our department for fall 2007.  Students in my lab typically work on 
projects involving marine mammal conservation, assessing population 
health via fluctuating asymmetry analysis and/or molecular markers. 
Examples of recent student projects include an assessment of population 
health of California sea lions (completed in conjunction with Francis 
Gulland and Denise Greig at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito) and 
of bottlenose dolphins (with Randy Wells at the Mote Marine Laboratory 
in Sarasota). Support includes tuition remission, stipend and research 
funds plus the opportunity to be a teaching assistant. Applications can 
be made online 
(https://my.american.edu/cgi/mvi.exe/A26.APPL.LOGIN?SCH=CAS). We have a 
departmental graduate open house on Feb 19th. Financial awards decisions 
are made in early March.
