 The Center of
Excellence for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University brings together scholars and
students from various biological disciplines to conduct research on topics in field
biology and ecology, including toxicology, population and community ecology (aquatic and
terrestrial) herpetology and the ecology and biology of rare, threatened, and endangered
species. The Center provides numerous opportunities for training, research and study
with professional field biologists. Field trips are routinely made to Land
Between The lakes (where facilities are available for in-residence group work), Reelfoot
Lake, Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake.
The Center has appointments available for
six senior research fellows with regional or national reputations in areas of stream
ecology, aquatic macroinvertebrates, herpetology, small-invertebrate community studies,
vascular plants and forest communities. Senior research fellows undertake joint or
independent investigations in the above areas of environmental problems in collaboration
with one of the Center's principal investigators. Principal investigators are:
If your career
goals include investigating the land we use and the water we drink, your training can
begin with field work in biology at APSU. Austin Peay has access to several natural
ecosystems for research in aquatic ecology, aquatic toxicology, ecology, bacteriology,
herpetology, ornithology and taxonomy. New projects will expand the research base of
The Center of Excellence for Field Biology to encompass regional ecology in LBL and
Tennessee.
Assistantships
for graduate students and secondary and junior college science teachers are
available. Appointments are also available for undergraduate students.
