  One useful thing to try is look through AGRICOLA, CAB or other research
  databases.  You can locate individuals, departments or institutions which
  are doing work which interests you, and then write to the authors of the
  work.  Some will not respond, but many will write back and either let you 
  know how to apply for work with them or make suggestions on how to pursue
  your studies/research.  Another thing to do is contact professional 
  societies to obtain their ads for positions and assistantships.  These 
  two approaches would be a decent start, at least.  -DmG
