Project: The Henderson Lab at the USGS Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research unit in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont is seeking highly motivated applicants for multiple graduate student positions focused on both genomics and acoustic telemetry. The funded projects will use both acoustic telemetry and genomics to better understand the population structure, spawning behavior, and habitat usage of two fish species in Lake Champlain: Lake Sturgeon and Lake Whitefish. Depending on the project, the graduate student’s primary duties will include fieldwork to implant acoustic transmitters and collect genetic samples, conducting genetic analyses in the lab, statistical analyses, and manuscript preparation. Qualifications: Applicants require a B.Sc. degree in biology, ecology, fisheries, marine science, or a related field. The positions have an anticipated start date of August 2025, but a summer start date is also possible. There is currently funding available for two PhDs and each position includes an annual stipend of $32,000, tuition, and health insurance. Application: The Henderson Lab, and the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, are deeply committed to inclusive excellence and creating a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone. Using a nuanced, holistic, and multi-faceted admissions process, we seek to build a campus community with myriad talents, experiences, goals, backgrounds, perspectives, and interests. Applicants are strongly encouraged to share their unique lived experience with us as part of the application process. To apply, please submit a 1-page letter of interest, CV, and transcripts to Dr. Mark Henderson (mark.hender...@uvm.edu<mailto:mark.hender...@uvm.edu>). Review of applications will begin on February 18th and continue until the position is filled.
