Dear ECOLOGers-- Below please find a job announcement for a graduate student.
Regards, Jeff Hicke Graduate student opportunity in biogeography, conservation science, and climate change at the University of Idaho. A graduate research assistantship is available to study climate change impacts on species distributions in the United States. The project will utilize regional GAP analyses (gapanalysis.nbii.gov) and climate change scenarios to quantify geographic patterns of change and identify species and areas of concern. The ideal candidate will have a strong quantitative background in geography, ecology, biology, or a related field. The Department of Geography has strengths in geographic information systems, remote sensing, and climate change and impacts. Local collaboration opportunities exist both within UI (such as with the College of Natural Resources) and outside UI (with the National Gap Analysis Program and The Nature Conservancy). Funding for two years beginning this summer is provided by the National Gap Analysis Program, with excellent opportunities for subsequent funding. Applicants to either the M.S. or Ph.D. program will be considered. Interested persons should apply to the UI Department of Geography (www.scihome.uidaho.edu/geography); applications are currently being accepted. Informal inquires are strongly encouraged; contact Dr. Jeffrey Hicke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]; 208-885-6240) for more information.
