MS position in small mammal population ecology at the University of New Hampshire
The Rowe Lab (http://www.unh.edu/rowe_lab/) seeks a highly motivated M.S. student for a two year project on the population ecology of small mammals in northeastern forests. This is a field intensive project using mark-recapture surveys among forest types at the Bartlett Experimental Forest, NH. The candidate will oversee and participate in summer field data collection during each project year. The student will be expected to present results at scientific conferences and to agency personnel. The student will work closely with faculty, staff, and other graduate students and is expected to lead publications that emerge from this research. Applicants must be able to begin in May/June 2016. Previous experience live-trapping small mammals is strongly preferred. Candidates must have a B.S. degree in a pertinent field with GPA >3.0. Stipend, health insurance, tuition, and all project operating costs will be provided. This work is supported through a McIntire-Stennis award from the NH Agricultural Experiment Station and a Teaching Assistantship.
