Subject: Graduate opportunity in bat ecology in the Trans-Pecos of Texas

The Stevens Lab, in the Department of Natural Resources Management at Texas Tech University, is accepting applications for a graduate student position.  Opportunities exist for either a Ph.D. or M.S. student.  The graduate student would be supported on a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.  Responsibilities would be to conduct a survey to inform a study on the use by bats of highway structures in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas.  In particular, the study aims to identify the relative contributions of highway structure characteristics, habitat, landscape structure and land-use on roosting behavior of bats.  Other responsibilities would include data management, including incorporating data into a GIS and report writing.  This research will allow abundant opportunities for research in both applied and basic community and population ecology.  Those interested should contact Richard Stevens at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
