I am currently seeking graduate students at the master’s or PhD level who are interested in
working on the behavior, ecology, and/or evolution of stream fish populations in Kansas
beginning May 2006. Possible projects could include foraging and dispersal behavior, predator- prey interactions, population dynamics, and patterns of community structure. I am especially
interested in seeking students who want to use mathematical modeling and/or molecular
techniques in concert with field and/or laboratory work in their studies. Interested students
should contact Dr. Garrick Skalski, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of
Kansas. Informal inquiries are encouraged. Stipends start at ~$1,600/month, tuition is reduced
or waived, and health insurance is available.
Required Qualifications
See http://www.ku.edu/~eeb/graduate/index.html for information, including admission
requirements, on graduate studies in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the
University of Kansas.
Preferred Qualifications
Field experience, especially with fishes
Programming, mathematical, and/or statistical skills
Molecular skills, especially with microsatellite loci
