Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Graduate assistanships in wildlife biology
Two graduate assistantships are available at the Department of Biological
Sciences at Arkansas State University:
1/. Wildlife management
The student will study the effects of prescribed burning on the northern
bobwhite reproductive performances. The aim is to determine whether
bobwhites avoid burned patches and how nests and broods are impacted when
burned patches are not avoided. This can potentially be a comparative study
between one site in northern Arkansas and southwestern Florida. The ideal
student would have some GIS knowledge. There might be some field work in the
Arkansas site as well.
2/. Evolutionary biology
The student will study the eastern bluebird life history traits and/or its
population demography. This study would include fieldwork in Spring 2012
and/or potentially also in the winter depending on the student's research
interest. The main objective would be to assess how individual quality
influences nesting performances, and/or recruitment and survival. The ideal
candidate will have field experience and ornithological knowledge.
Both positions are available starting January 2012, with the potential to
delay until summer 2012 if needed. Assistantships include a stipend and
cover tuition. Master programs (Biology or Environmental Science) and
information on the Department of Biological Sciences can be found here:

Interested students: please contact Dr. Virginie Rolland

letter of interest, GRE scores and unofficial transcripts.
