GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS GALORE
Graduate assistantship opportunities in the Department of Biological Sciences at Fort Hays State University have dramatically increased for Fall 2010. There are currently five graduate teaching assistantships, one graduate curatorial assistantship (at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History), and three graduate wetlands assistantships at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center, for a total of at least nine graduate assistantships available. Fort Hays State University faculty have on-going research on The Nature Conservancy's Smoky Valley Ranch in western Kansas, at the Cheyenne Bottoms State Wildlife Area, the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, in the Platte River Valley, and in the Prairie Pothole Region of Minnesota. In addition, we have excellent programs in herpetology (Dr. William Stark, Curtis J. Schmidt, Travis W. Taggart & Joseph T. Collins are all curators in the Sternberg Museum), biogeography, botany, conservation biology, entomology, extinction and range contraction, fisheries management, grassland soils, ichthyology, mammalogy, ornithology, plant ecology, plant ecophysiology, plant physiology, range management, and wildlife biology. Fort Hays State University has developed a program in microbiology, has a DNA sequencing laboratory, recently added expertise in stable isotope ecology, and has a SEM laboratory with digital imaging capabilities. In addition, the department recently began a Professional Science Masters for students interested in combining business and natural resource management. Graduate students in our program have successfully gone forward to excellent doctoral programs and/or employment within their subdisciplines. Please access our web page at

GRADUATE STUDIES IN REPTILE PHYSIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
Positions are available in my laboratory for graduate studies (MS or PhD) in comparative and integrative animal physiology and physiological ecology to begin August 2010 or January 2011. Research in my laboratory includes studies on the adaptive interplay between feeding habits and digestive physiology, determinants of metabolic rates, and regulatory mechanisms of digestive and cardiovascular performance. The vast majority of this research is conducted on amphibians, turtles, and reptiles, with the Burmese Python as a focal research model. Graduate students are supported primarily by graduate teaching assistantships with summer stipends provided.
The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alabama (http://bsc.ua.edu) has 35 faculty with strengths in ecology, systematics, evolution, genetics, developmental biology, and physiology. The university is located in Tuscaloosa, an area rich in plant and animal diversity.
Interested students should contact Dr. Stephen Secor to learn more about this opportunity.
