Graduate Assistantship Opportunity in Biophysical Modeling of Holoplankton

I am seeking a motivated M.S. student to join my lab in the Department
of Oceanography at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa (UHM). Thesis
work will link biology with physical models to explore questions of
connectivity and genetic divergence in wide-ranging pelagic copepods.
Applicants must be self-motivated and hard working, with good written
and verbal communication skills.  A solid background in oceanography,
biology, mathematics or a related field is ideal.  Past programming
experience is highly desirable (e.g. R, Matlab).  Starting date is
January 2014.

The Neuheimer Lab for Biological Oceanography (www.abneuheimer.org) is
focused on quantitative ecology of fish and zooplankton.  Lab research
interests include characterizing environmental and human impacts on
different aspects of growth, life history, distribution, etc., and
consolidating findings through the development of new modeling tools.
The Neuheimer Lab is located in the Department of Oceanography at
UHM’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST,
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/).

Interested candidates should contact Dr. Anna Neuheimer at
annabn at hawaii.edu with a statement of interest, CV, and transcript/GRE
scores before formally applying through the Department of Oceanography
(http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/oceanography/prospective_students.html;
deadline: 1 August).
