The Louisiana State University Scholarship is a great chance for international students to get Master’s and Doctoral degrees in the USA. The School of Renewable Natural Resources at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center is looking for applicants for one Ph.D. assistantship or one M.S. assistantship starting in January or May 2026, depending on when the candidate is available.
The chosen student will work in a new lab group led by Dr. Kaelyn Fogelman. This lab focuses on studying how aquatic organisms, especially crayfish and unionid mussels, respond to environmental changes. Projects may include experiments in lab systems or outdoor ponds, along with field sampling trips around Louisiana and the southeastern U.S. Students will learn about designing experiments, handling live animals (with a focus on crayfish), lab analysis, and working with stakeholders.
