Available research assistantship for a graduate student

Research assistantships are available for one or two graduate students (at MS or Ph.D.l evel) interested in quantitative fisheries management and ecology. Examples of research topics include estimation of multi parameters in non-linear models, prediction of unknown random variables, development of a model tool, extinction risk analysis (population viability analysis), and detection of environmental conditions that affect temporal variability in mortality under both an individual stock frame and multi-stock interaction perspective, etc. Financial support includes salary payment, and waived tuition, etc.

Please be informed that more jobs in fisheries are available for quantitatively trained graduates: e.g., UN FAO, NOAA NMFS, state and tribal governments, consulting companies, academia, etc. The incumbent would work in the School for Marine Science & Tech. (SMAST) at the Univ. of Massachusetts at Dartmouth with Saang-Yoon Hyun (PI, Professor), but please note that his/her degree (MS or Ph.D.) would be awarded by the School of Marine Science (SMS) at the Univ. of Massachusetts beyond the Dartmouth campus.

Interested applicants should contact Saang-Yoon Hyun (see contact info below) with his/her resume and transcript although there are separate application procedures (http://www.umassmarine.net/admissions/admissions.html).
