The Zoology Department has a large aquatic research group, with faculty interests ranging from conservation biology to molecular ecology. The student will work primarily at the nearby Oklahoma Biological Survey. The assistantship can begin as early as June 2001. The Robert Bebb Herbarium is Oklahoma's primary reference collection of plants. People who need to identify plants or who study the history or distribution of species in Oklahoma or the Great Plains make use of the Herbarium.
Hours are entirely flexible and visitor parking passes are available.
In the spring we do plant forays with botanists, students and interested volunteers to collect specimens for the Herbarium. Please contact Mia Molvray if you are interested.
