CONSERVATION GENETICS PH.D. GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP
NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
Conservation Genetics Ph.D. Graduate Student Assistantship to conduct
research on landscape genetics of northern leopard frogs. The project will
analyze an existing dataset to evaluate gene flow among potentially isolated
wetlands, as means of assessing biotic connectedness. Additional sampling
and possible development of additional molecular markers will be pursued as
warranted. This well-funded project is a collaboration between Craig
Stockwell (NDSU) and David Mushet (USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research
Center). Field work will take place in the upper Great Plains. This
project will provide excellent networking opportunities with federal
scientists from USGS and EPA.
Position to start as soon as Summer 2017.
Open until filled
Requirements: BS or MS in ecology, aquatic ecology, fisheries biology,
conservation biology or related field; Experience analyzing population
genetics data, quantitative skills, and ability to work independently and as
part of a research team.
Preferred: M.S., experience with landscape-genetic landscape-resistance
models, field research experience, experience using “R”
Salary: $24,000/year + full tuition waiver
