M.S. or Ph.D. GRADUATE RESEARCH POSITION on BRANT physiology. A graduate assistantship will be available at the UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE'S Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology to determine Atlantic Brant winter ecology including food resources, habitat use, and time energy budgets across the East Coast. Research responsibilities will include working for 6 winter months along the coast of New Jersey to collect 1) brant foods, 2) behavioral data, and 3) hunter killed carcass analysis. Graduate student will also coordinate 7 additional Atlantic states conducting the same information. The possibility exists the graduate student may spend some time during summer at the University of Rhode Island conducting lab analysis of samples. The successful applicant should have some experience with animal nutrition and physiology methodology but also interest in working in the field under harsh weather and field conditions. Approximate start date is June 1, 2007 but is negotiable. Stipend will be $17,300+ per year plus a tuition-waiver and reduced cost health benefits.
