Up to two research assistant positions beginning Spring, Summer, or Fall semesters of 2009, subject to funding.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The successful applicant(s) will perform their thesis research on an aspect of the assessment of coastal watersheds for resource management in an integrated modeling project funded by NOAA (the specific topic will be related to ongoing or new research in integrated assessment: contact Dr. Reiter for details).

QUALIFICATIONS
Minimum: U.S. citizenship, graduation from an accredited undergraduate program in a major applicable to resource management (any field science, resource economics, etc.), and acceptance to BCU’s MS program are required. Individuals with an interest in interdisciplinary resource management are particularly welcome to apply. Successful candidates will be selected from among multiple applicants based on grades, communication skills, potential to work effectively and independently on integrated scientific projects, and career goals. Minority students are particularly encouraged to apply.
APPLICATION
To be considered, applicants must submit a letter of interest outlining any special qualifications, GRE scores, copies of undergraduate transcripts, and two recommendation letters to Dr. Reiter at the address below. The successful applicant(s) must also be accepted by the BCU Masters program in Leadership with an Emphasis on Environmental Issues (students will be transferred to the MS in Environmental Science upon final approval of the curriculum by the BCU Trustees) to receive the assistantship.
