PhD Graduate Student Project Opportunities University of Idaho, Department of Fish and Wildlife We are currently recruiting two PhD students for May 2012 to design and implement monitoring programs for (1) Sonoran pronghorn and (2) kit fox based on combining non-invasive genetic sampling with capture-recapture modeling. Both projects will involve developing a spatio-temporal sampling design for collection of fecal DNA, field sampling, laboratory genetic analyses, and mark-recapture modeling. Projects are collaborations with U.S. Department of Defense, USFWS, as well as state and university biologists. Graduate stipend is ~$20K/year and will also include payment of tuition and fees. Interested applicants should send CV/resume, cover letter/statement of purpose, transcripts, GRE scores plus names and contact info for three references to [email protected]. In your statement of purpose, please indicate which species you prefer to study. Please note that we do not need official transcripts and GRE scores at this stage. If you are selected to join our research group, then we will ask you to send all official documents and 3 letters of recommendation to the University of Idaho graduate school applications office. Electronic (email) submission of applications is encouraged but mail is also fine. Application Deadline: January 15th but earlier submission is encouraged. For more information contact Drs. Lisette Waits ([email protected]) or Jon Horne ([email protected])
