MS Graduate Assistantship
MS Graduate Assistantship - We are seeking an enthusiastic MS graduate
student to focus thesis research on the recovery of one of the most endangered
birds - the Guam
Micronesian Kingfisher. The kingfisher currently exists only as a captive
population, although work has been started to return the birds to a suitable
Pacific island. The
research associated with this project will be aimed at gathering and
synthesizing information from the captive breeding institutions, and using those
data to identify ways to improve population management. Additional work may
address techniques needed to facilitate the release of the kingfishers in the
wild. Ideal candidates possess experience with in situ and ex situ
conservation, interest in endangered species conservation, supreme quantitative
skills, and excellent communication abilities. The successful applicant will
receive a teaching assistantship which provides an annual stipend of $14k, a
tuition waiver, and research expenses. Work will be completed at the
University of Missouri-Columbia
(http://quinnkesler.net).
To apply, please email a letter, CV, undergraduate transcripts (unofficial), GRE
scores, and contact information for three professional references to Dr. Strauch
and Dr. Kesler at
mkcaptive@picra.net<mailto:mkcaptive@picra.net>
before 5 November. |
