The student will focus on camera trapping and non-invasive sampling to examine patterns of predator-prey dynamics in Northeastern Washington, where wolves are recolonizing. The student will be advised by Beth Gardner in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington and will work closely with biologists in the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and other faculty in SEFS. The position is fully funded for 4 years (stipend, tuition, research costs). The start date is somewhat flexible, between spring and fall of 2017. An MS degree, excellent quantitative skills (including knowledge of R), strong academic record, and previous experience with hands-on wildlife research (preferably, camera-trapping) is required. A record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals and knowledge of occupancy or capture-recapture modeling is highly desirable. To be considered for this opportunity, send a cover letter outlining your research interests and qualifications, a CV, and contact information for 3 references to Beth Gardner ([log in to unmask]) by January 6, 2017 (open until position is filled). Please include your undergraduate GPA and GRE scores (percentiles) in your materials.
