Graduate Research Assistantships Available at the University of Hawaii

The Bioengineering Program in the Department of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering at the University of Hawaii (UH) is currently seeking qualified students to fill graduate research assistantships while pursuing Master of Science degrees.  General areas of research interest include bioremediation (contact Dr. Charles Kinoshita, kinoshi@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu), biomass utilization and bioenergy production (contact Dr. Scott Turn, sturn@hawaii.edu), and aquaculture economics and management (contact Dr. PingSun Leung, psleung@hawaii.edu).  Qualified students must apply and be granted admission to the UH graduate program.  For further information on how to apply, visit the UH graduate division website at http://www.hawaii.edu/graduate/.

The graduate research assistantship is a half-time academic appointment in which an eligible graduate student contributes nominally 20 hours a week of research assistance to the faculty while carrying an academic course load of at least six degree-related credits (full-time student status for graduate assistants).  Research assistantships of 11 months currently carry a minimum stipend of $14,382 and include a tuition waiver.
