As part of CSUMB's center funding we are recruiting for 3-4 new Masters positions for Fall 2017. We are able to offer prospective students at least two years of stipend support ($20,000/year), tuition waivers, a research fund of $10,000, support to intern at
a NOAA facility and conference travel funding. A third year of funding is available contingent on thesis progress.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in">Students can apply for graduate studies through our Applied Marine and Watershed Science program
<a href="https://csumb.edu/amws">https://csumb.edu/amws</a>. Beginning this year students can also apply to work with CSUMB faculty through the Marine Science Masters program at Moss Landing Marine Labs. Including myself other CSUMB faculty who will accept
students through the Moss Landing Program include, Alison Haupt, Rikk Kvitek, James Lindholm, Cheryl Logan, Steve Moore and Kerry Nickols. Our complete graduate faculty listing can be found here:
<a href="https://csumb.edu/amws/faculty">https://csumb.edu/amws/faculty</a>. Students accepted through the program will also be required to have a NOAA scientist as part of their thesis committee. Our application deadline is February 01, 2017.<br clear="all">
