Graduate student opportunity to advance wildlife ecology and conservation using remote sensing technologies at the University of Idaho.
We seek a new Ph.D. student to study how ecological interactions between cavity-excavating and other cavity-using animals create "nest webs" that can in turn be used to improve wildlife conservation modeling efforts. The project will also involve the use of lidar remote sensing to quantify aspects of forest ecosystem structure that are important for nest web development. We seek candidates interested in ecology and conservation who possess strong quantitative and communication skills to thrive in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research group setting. The position provides salary support of ~$23,000 annually, which includes a stipend of ~$18,000 plus health insurance, tuition, and fees. Interested applicants should send a CV, GPA, GRE scores, and a cover letter that describes the candidate's interest in the position and relevant education and experience to Drs. Kerri and Lee Vierling ([EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Inquiries via email or phone (208-885-5378 or 208-885-5743) are welcome.
