We would like to strengthen our graduate program within the Department of Biological Sciences at Fort Hays State University. Thus, we would appreciate it if you would tell juniors and seniors about our program. I personally am looking for students interested in studying birds and mammals in the framework of conservation biology and wildlife management particularly in grasslands of the Great Plains. We have excellent programs in fisheries, plant ecology, range management, wildlife biology, conservation biology, extinction and range contraction, herpetology, mammalogy, ornithology, and ichthyology. We have a developing program in microbiology and have developed a DNA sequencing laboratory. Please look at our web page at www.fhsu.edu/biology and encourage your students to do so also. Have them contact me or an appropriate faculty member with questions. Thank you for your time and effort. We look forward to hearing from you or your students.

GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP(S)
SMALL MAMMALS IN TALLGRASS PRAIRIE
AT KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY FOR FALL 2005
Please note: application deadline of 15 January 2005
We expect to have one, possibly two, graduate assistantships for highly motivated PhD students to pursue research focused on the ecology of small mammals beginning in autumn 2005. The successful student(s) will be expected to participate in ongoing long-term research directed at documenting patterns and causes of temporal variation in abundance of small mammals on the Konza Prairie. Therefore, the student(s) must have considerable field experience with small mammals (identification, sampling with live traps and handling and marking). The student(s) also will be expected to develop doctoral research focused on population, community, and/or behavioral ecology of rodents or shrews in tallgrass prairie. Some opportunities exist for doctoral research projects to deal with questions concerning patterns of abundance and distribution of rodents or shrews across the environmental gradient of tallgrass to mixed-grass to shortgrass prairie in the central Great Plains. The student(s) will have access to long-term data (1981 to present) on small mammals in burned and unburned prairie to facilitate his/her research. Regardless of the specific doctoral project chosen by a student, the project must be designed to aid in the interpretation of the differential influences of fire, grazing (bison), weather, and geomorphology on abundance and distribution of small mammals in the dissected landscapes of Flint Hills tallgrass prairie. We also expect such research to apply to small mammals in other native and planted grassland systems.
All students accepted into a graduate program in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University are provided with 12 months of support. Whether support comes from a graduate teaching assistantship or a graduate research assistantship, the present support level (stipend plus tuition) is $20,184. Additionally, all graduate students in Biology contribute to teaching needs of the Division regardless of the specific source of their support. The end result is that all students must contribute to classroom instruction for 6-8 hours per week during the 15 weeks of each fall and spring semester, but all students have full stipend support and no teaching commitments during the summer.
Interested students should contact Dr. Donald W. Kaufman ( dwkaufma@ksu.edu ) or Dr. Glennis A. Kaufman ( gkaufman@ksu.edu ) and provide a short biography that outlines general qualifications (including transcript), GPA, and GRE scores. Qualified students interested in our PhD-level assistantship(s) also will need to apply directly to the Division of Biology (deadline is 15 January 2005). Application materials and general information on Kansas State University and the Division of Biology are available at http://www.ksu.edu/biology . Information concerning the Konza Prairie Biological Station can be found by going to the link for Division Overview at the above site or directly by http://www.ksu.edu/konza/ .

M.S. and Ph.D. opportunities
The Department of Zoology at Miami University has assistantships available for
graduate students for Fall 2005 (M.S. and Ph.D.) in mammalian behavior and ecology.
I are looking for students who are interested in factors that influence sociality
and mating patterns in small mammals. I would prefer students with previous
field or research experience. The ability to use molecular techniques to access
parentage and relatedness is helpful but not critical for this project. Funding
exists for students to begin their research in summer 2005. Field research will
take place in populations of prairie voles in Illinois and Kansas.
The zoology department at Miami University contains about 35 faculty and approximately half of these have interests in some aspect of ecology, evolution and behavior. We have 50-60 graduate students in our department and all students accepted into our program are supported on teaching or research assistantships.
For more info, contact: Nancy Solomon at solomong@muohio.edu.. Please tell prospective applicants they can find more information on our web page http://zoology.muohio.edu/ and http://www.units.muohio.edu/ecology.
