Subject: [Tws-l] Graduate Assistantship: Bison Genetics and Population
Modeling at UWisc-Milwaukee
Graduate position (MS) in Wildlife Genetics and Population Modeling of Bison
in the lab of Dr. Emily Latch, Department of Biological Sciences, University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
I am seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic MS student to work on a
federally-funded project evaluating alternative culling strategies for bison
herds, beginning fall 2011. The goal of this project is to develop an
individual-based population model to evaluate culling strategies to
determine which strategy best preserves genetic variation over the long
term. Qualified candidates should be broadly interested in the evolution,
conservation, and management of vertebrate populations, and should have
experience and interest in combining computer modeling, population genetics,
and wildlife ecology. Funding in the form of assistantships, research
support, and travel grants are available for qualified candidates.
Research in my lab employs molecular genetic tools and statistical genetic
methods to address fundamental questions in vertebrate population genetics
and evolutionary ecology. Many projects have an applied focus, helping to
inform conservation and management programs. For more information about the
Latch Lab, visit: http://people.uwm.edu/latch .

If you are interested, please send me an email including 1) a statement of
research interests, 2) a brief overview of your previous academic and
research experiences, and 3) how your interests might fit with the lab. Also
please include a CV (with GPA and GRE scores). Qualified candidates will
also have to apply to the UWM Graduate School (deadline Jan 1, 2011). The
review of applications will begin immediately and will remain open until the
position is filled. Anticipated start date is August 2011.
