Graduate student opportunities in the Orrock Lab at UW-Madison The Orrock Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is accepting applications for a highly motivated Masters or Ph.D. graduate student to begin Fall 2012. Our research interests broadly include conservation, restoration ecology, behavioral ecology and spatial ecology. Students with an interest in apparent competition, plant-herbivore interactions, post-dispersal seed predation, metapopulation dynamics, and/or small-mammal ecology are particularly encouraged to apply. Locations for ongoing research in the lab include California, Wisconsin, and the southeastern U.S.
Interested applicants should first review our lab website (https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/jorrock/web/index.html), then send a CV and cover letter to John Orrock at [email protected]. The cover letter should describe your skills, goals, and interest in working in the Orrock Lab, and include your GPA and GRE scores (unofficial scores are acceptable). Teaching assistantships are the primary means of student support, although two years of research assistantship funding are available for work on a large-scale plant restoration project in the southeastern U.S. Please refer to the UW-Madison Zoology website for additional information regarding graduate study and formal application.
