[ECOLOG-L] research internships in plant ecology, Florida

2018-02-08 Thread Menges, Eric
Research Internships in Plant Ecology, Archbold Biological Station, Florida
Beginning April, May, or June 2018; running 8 months.
Applications due March 2, 2018.
Ideal for Students with Undergraduate Degrees Contemplating Graduate School

Includes independent research project. Provides Stipend, Room and Board.

Internships available at Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida 
in the Plant Ecology Program, led by Dr. Eric Menges, which emphasizes 
conservation biology, plant demography, restoration ecology, fire ecology, 
landscape ecology, and fire management. We study many rare species of endemic 
vascular plants in endangered Florida scrub and related communities. Active 
fire management provides outstanding opportunities for short-term comparative 
studies in fire ecology. Our long-term (as long as 30-year) datasets on dozens 
of scrub plants gives context to short-term, focused, field projects. A 
large-scale experimental restoration provides a useful context for restoration 
ecology projects.  Additional information can be found at the Archbold website: 
 http://www.archbold-station.org/ or the plant ecology program website: 
http://www.archbold-station.org/html/research/plant/plant.html or our intern 
website: 
http://www.archbold-station.org/html/research/plant/plantinternship.html

Interns live on site and receive a room, breakfasts and lunches, a meal 
allowance, and a weekly stipend of $100. Each intern works 20 hours per week 
assisting with a wide range of ongoing research projects. The remainder of the 
week can be devoted to an independent research project. Internships run for 8 
months (can sometimes be extended) and offer an opportunity for experience in 
every aspect of scientific research, from project choice and experimental 
design to oral and written presentations. Our internships are ideal preparation 
for graduate research in ecology. Most of our interns have gone on to academic 
or professional positions and many have first-authored publications based on 
their intern projects.

Archbold Biological Station is active in research, conservation, and education. 
Our facilities include a 5000 ha preserve, an outstanding regional library and 
a GIS lab running ArcINFO. We have a staff of about 50 with many visiting 
scientists, an active seminar program, and a relaxed biological station 
atmosphere.

Ideal candidates will have independent research experience, classwork and 
experience in ecology and botany, field ecology experience, strong grades, 
statistical and GIS skills, and excellent letters of recommendation.

To apply for an internship in the plant ecology lab, please provide the 
following: a cover letter stating research interests, a resume or CV, and a 
summary of grades. Arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent to us 
via email. Materials should be sent by March 2, 2018.
