M.Sc. POSITIONS IN WETLAND ECOLOGY

Full tuition and stipends are available for M.Sc. students to
participate in wetland ecology and restoration studies in the Fraser lab
at the University of Akron
(http://www.uakron.edu/biology/resint.html#Fraser).  Our research
combines greenhouse, growth chamber, and field studies to investigate
plant traits, and how they relate to plant community/ecosystem processes
towards the restoration and conservation of wetlands.   Other research
possibilities include the study of constructed wetlands for the
treatment of wastewater.  Students are guaranteed full financial support
throughout their graduate studies, and have access to first-rate
facilities: greenhouse, growth chambers, equipment for field research,
and a 404-acre field station, The Bath Nature Preserve.  The Preserve
includes an excellent cross section of the habitats of Northeast Ohio,
including wetlands, ponds, streams, grasslands, and mid- to old-growth
forests =96 a wonderful environment for research.

The Ecology and Evolution group in the Department of Biology at the
University of Akron is dynamic and strong, with 7 recent hires: Wetland
Ecology (Lauchlan Fraser), Plant Systematics (Joel Duff), Invertebrate
Zoology (Steve Weeks), Plant Ecology (Randy Mitchell), Vertebrate
Zoology (Peter Niewiarowski), Cellular Physiology (Rich Londraville),
and Environmental Microbiology (Peter Lavrentyev).  We meet twice weekly
for seminars and discussion groups.  Have a look at our website at
