M.S. Research Assistantship – Urban land use and phosphorus/sediment movement in headwater streams
A M.S. research assistantship is available for Summer or Fall 2009 through the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences (SFWS) at Auburn University. Research will focus on the influence of urban land use on sediment and phosphorus movement in headwater streams surrounding the Auburn-Opelika region of Alabama. This research will support an interdisciplinary model being developed for watershed management in the Tallapoosa River basin. Prospective students should be highly motivated, demonstrate good communication skills (written and oral), and be willing to conduct extensive field and laboratory work. A B.S. in environmental science, ecology, aquatic science, or natural resources is desirable.
Research assistantships include tuition waiver, stipend ($15,540). Further details regarding graduate education, application, and admission to Auburn University and the SFWS can be found at (http://www.grad.auburn.edu/) and (http://www.sfws.auburn.edu/index.php).
