An assistantship (MS or PhD) is available in the Department of Natural
Resource Management at South Dakota State University for the examination of
the distribution, plant up-take, and environmental impact of neonicotinoids
in USFWS grasslands. The environmental impacts that we are most focused on
include native pollinators and butterflies. The student will work closely
with Lora Perkins (SDSU), Jon Lundgren (Blue Dasher Farm), Josh Stafford
(USGS), and Kyle Kelsey (USFWS).
The successful applicant should have a BS or MS in a relevant
field of study, some GIS skills, and the ability to work with an
interdisciplinary team. To apply please send a cover letter describing
yourself and your interest in grad school and this project, GRE scores, and
transcripts (unofficial are fine) to [email protected]. For full
consideration, have your materials in by *December 16, 2016*. Students that
are non-traditional or are from groups traditionally underrepresented in
STEM are encouraged to apply.
For more information, please contact Dr. Perkins at
[email protected], Dr. Lundgren at [email protected], or Dr.
Stafford at [email protected].
