MS Graduate Research Assistantship at Eastern Illinois University🇺🇸
Project: Biological Response to Instream Habitat Restoration Across Multiple Trophic Levels (fish community, aquatic macroinvertebrates, habitat quality)
Description: A graduate research assistantship is available in the Department of Biological Sciences’ Center for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at Eastern Illinois University with a potential start date ranging from May 10th-August 17th, 2022. The candidate will investigate the biological responses to instream habitat restorations in Illinois streams. This will involve sampling and analysis of fish communities, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and habitat surveys (QHEI). Candidates with experience or interest in aquatic macroinvertebrate ecology are especially encouraged to apply.
The position comes with tuition waiver and a $1400/month stipend under a 12-month contract. We are in search of a self-motivated student that works well independently, and in a team setting. The candidate will assist with both field and laboratory sampling and data processing tasks. Knowledge of aquatic ecology, field/lab techniques, and previous stream sampling experience is preferred. A bachelor’s degree and an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 are required. Must be able to lift 40 pounds and work in inclement weather conditions. Must have a valid driver’s license with at least 4 years of driving experience. Review of applications will begin April 15th and will continue until position is filled. Please send a statement of interest, Academic CV (including undergraduate GPA and GRE scores), undergraduate academic transcripts (unofficial okay), and a list of three professional references to:
