Graduate student opportunity in conservation biology at Old Dominion
University
I am seeking a highly motivated M.S. student to join my lab in the
Department of Biological Sciences at Old Dominion University,
starting fall 2013. This student will work as part of a new
collaborative radar project examining migrant use of hardwood forest
habitat during fall migration in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware.
Applicants must be highly motivated, have field experience that
involves the ability to identify Eastern passerine migrants by sight
and sound, have leadership abilities in order to coordinate several
independent field crews, possess strong quantitative skills, and have
competitive GPA/GRE scores. The ability to begin field work in August
2013 is required. Students with strong initiative and a desire to
carve out their own research questions within this project are highly
encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in my lab on this
project, please send me the following: a current CV; GRE and GPA
scores; a statement of your research interests, career goals, and why
you would like to pursue a graduate degree with me; and the names,
phone numbers, titles, and email addresses of at least three academic
/ professional references. Applications will be reviewed upon
receipt. Please see my website (www.ericlwalters.org) for more
information about my lab and the ODU Biology Graduate Program website
(http://ww2.sci.odu.edu/biology/academics/bio-ms.shtml) for more
details on application procedures.
All applications must first be sent by email to:
[email protected] for my consideration.
