M.Sc. Assistantship – Bat Ecology and Conservation in National Parks of the Upper Midwest, North Dakota State University
The Gillam laboratory at North Dakota State University is seeking an M.Sc. student to work in collaboration with the National Park Service and the Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network on a bat ecology and conservation project beginning May 15, 2017. The research involves surveying for bat populations at 10 national parks in the Upper Midwest using passive acoustic monitoring. This project is part of an effort to gather baseline information about bat populations in the upper Midwest as White-Nose Syndrome threatens to become established in the region. The position includes funding for a research assistantship and tuition coverage. While the student will be based out of NDSU, they will spend some time at the National Park Service office coordinating the project in Ashland, Wisconsin. This position is dependent upon the availability of pending funds. If you are interested in applying for the position, please send a CV and short introduction email to Professor Erin Gillam at [email protected]. Given the short timeline involved, if you are interested, please contact Dr. Gillam as soon as possible.
