I am seeking a M.S. student to conduct research focused on community ecology, biology education, or science outreach beginning fall of 2018. The ideal candidate would already possess some experience working with K-12 students or the public, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and motivation to develop, conduct, and publish their research. Candidates should possess a B.S. degree in biology or a related discipline. The successful candidate will receive a graduate assistantship to work with new high school science and math teachers.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Heather Vance-Chalcraft (vancechalcrafth@ecu.edu<mailto:vancechalcrafth@ecu.edu>). You will also need to submit a completed application to the ECU Graduate School prior to January 15th, 2018.
