Colleagues: The Program in Aquaculture Ecosystems, Center for
Regenerative Studies, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona,
is taking applications for (1) a summer internship in aquaculture
ecosystems; (2) a graduate assistantship in wastewater aquaculture
ecosystems for Fall 1996. The summer internship begins 1 June and the
assistantship Sept. 15, 1996. Pay scales for both positions depend upon
experience and qualifications, and follow State of California guidelines.
Housing and food are available at the Center.
The Program in Aquaculture Ecosystems of the CRS, Cal Poly Pomona,
focuses upon research and education in the use of wastewaters and
agricultural by-products for the development of integrated
agriculture-aquaculture ecosystems worldwide. The research facilities
include 1800 sq. meters of ponds having polycultures of tilapia and carps
integrated with 2.5 acres of intensive organic agriculture and solar
energy systems for aeration, plus 16, 2.3 cubic meter solar microcosms
for research in aquatic microbial ecology, water quality, and use of
agricultural by-products in aquaculture. Pond waters at the CRS drain to
constructed wetlands. The CRS site is the focus of active research on
restoration and regenerative ecology in native forestry, bird, and other
species revisiting and reclaiming the site. A fully operational
aquaculture water quality lab was added in 1996.
