GRADUATE STUDENT POSITIONS for two students (Ph.D. or M.S.) are available in the lab of Dr. Stephan Schoech in the Department of Biology at the University of Memphis. Dr. Schoechs research lies at the interface between physiology and behavior and is primarily focused on the behavioral, reproductive, and environmental endocrinology of the Florida Scrub-Jay, a cooperatively breeding and threatened species. Dr. Schoech has been continuously funded by NSF for many years: a copy of his current grant (2009 - 2011) will be made available to potential students (i. e., upon receipt of initial contact I will send a packet of information). The Department of biology at the University of Memphis offers a competitive stipend for teaching assistants and the research of students working under the supervision of Dr. Schoech will be fully supported should their project overlap current funding objectives. Information on graduate study in biology at the University of Memphis can be found at http://biology.memphis.edu. For further information please contact Dr. Schoech via either email (sschoech@memphis.edu) or telephone (901.678.2327).
