Currently recruiting?
I am looking for a new Ph.D. or M.S. student who is interested in bioturbation by benthic invertebrates that live in mud and who is not afraid to learn math and physics. I have three years of funding in hand, starting 1 May 2009. If you are interested in mysids and bio-acoustics, let's also talk.
