Position for master's student in endangered species and climate change
Jessica Hellmann, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological
Sciences at Notre Dame, is recruiting a student to work on a master’s
project examining the effects of climate change on an endangered
butterfly (Karner blue butterfly). Graduate studies would begin in
Fall 2011, but the successful applicant could start work on the
project as a paid technician in the spring or summer of 2011. The
project is funded by the National Park Service and involves
collaboration with Ralph Grundel of the USGS and Randy Knutson of the
National Park Service, both at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
The project examines how temperature changes might affect demography
and habitat use by the Karner blue. For more information on the
project and how to apply, please contact Jessica Hellmann at [email protected]
