The Frank Lab at the Louis Calder Center of Fordham University (*http://www.fordham.edu/calder_center <http://www.fordham.edu/calder_center>)* invites applications for funded M.S./Ph.D. student positions to conduct research on host/pathogen interactions with respect to White-nose Syndrome in bats. The successful applicants will work on field projects with hibernating bats, and laboratory studies involving *Pseudogymnoascus destructans*, the fungus that causes White-nose Syndrome. The Graduate Ecology program at Fordham University has new assistantships available for well-qualified students interested in pursuing a M.S. or Ph.D. starting in Fall 2019. Research opportunities through our graduate program link scientists at the Louis Calder Center (our biological field station), with our main campus in New York. Accepted M.S. and Ph.D. students are eligible to receive competitive stipends, plus full tuition remission. Graduate housing is also available at the Louis Calder Center. Interested applicants should contact Dr. Craig L. Frank ([email protected]) by email and submit: 1) a letter of research interests and career goals, 2) a current CV, and 3) unofficial undergraduate transcripts. A formal application package must also be submitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Science at Fordham University by January 3, 2019 for full consideration.
