The Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of
Wyoming has a position available for an<br>
M.S. student investigating pollinators and other insects in
sagebrush ecosystems of southern Wyoming.<br>
The study will inform the Wyoming BLM about native pollinators, how
wind farms may alter pollinator<br>
assemblages, and provide information on future wind turbine
placement. To understand how changes in<br>
pollinator abundance may affect the food web, the student will also
estimate bird and bat diversity, and<br>
measure effects of pollinator removal on seed/fruit set for target
plants. The student will begin field<br>
research in May 2013 and full funding, including a stipend, full
tuition waiver, and health insurance, is<br>
available for 2.5 years.<br>
<br>
Students with a strong research background in insect ecology
(especially pollinators), insect<br>
identification, and statistics will be given first consideration.
Superior applicants will have well-rounded<br>
backgrounds in wildlife ecology, botany, and/or range ecology.
Selection will be based on GPA, GRE<br>
scores, experience, and recommendation letters. Interested students
should email a letter of interest and<br>
CV to Dr. Michael Dillon (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Michael.Dillon@uwyo.edu">Michael.Dillon@uwyo.edu</a>).<br>
