I seek a Ph.D. or exceptional M.S. student to work on a project examining factors affecting fish movement and recruitment in headwater fish assemblages. Objectives are to determine effects of natural and anthropogenic barriers to fish movement and recruitment at multiple spatial scales and the resulting impact on fish assemblage structure. The student will also develop a related research project to pursue their own interest area. The project will involve substantial field work in the Ozark Mountains on the Buffalo National River and its tributaries, including sampling fish and habitat, marking fish with elastomer and PIT tags, supervising technicians, analysis of data, and providing written reports. Applicants should have a B.S. in fisheries, ecology, biology, or a related field and; 3.0 GPA (minimum); 1000 (V+Q) minimum GRE. Previous stream research experience and fish identification skills are preferred, but not essential. Applicants must be responsible, motivated, and able to work independently in remote field locations. Stipend will be $15,000 plus full tuition waver. Start date would be summer or fall semester 2002. Contact me for information or send 1) a letter describing your interests and career goals, 2) resume (including GPA and GRE scores), 3) names and telephone numbers of three references, and 4) transcripts (photocopies ok) to:
