The Molecular Ecology & Conservation Lab at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst is recruiting graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D.) to
begin summer or fall 2018. We conduct integrative studies in wildlife
genomics, physiology and ecology to understand animal performance,
distributions, population connectivity and adaptation. Much of our
research focuses on species of conservation concern and economic value
in marine and freshwater ecosystems (e.g., marine turtles and fishes),
and generally falls under one or multiple of three broad research
topics: 1) Global Change, 2) Conservation Management, 3) Ecological
Adaptation.
UMass Amherst consistently ranks in the Top 30 US national public
universities and Amherst recently ranked #6 in small towns of the United
States. Research opportunities include field and laboratory projects the
Gloucester Marine Station and potential to collaborate with state and
federal agencies such as the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, USGS,
USFWS, US Forest Service, and NOAA. Interested candidates are encouraged
to visit the lab website to learn more about our research and lab
philosophy: https://lmkomoroske.com/opportunities/ Application
deadlines for graduate programs are Dec 1/Dec 15 (varies by program).
