[Pollinator] MS student position available to study pollinators in Wyoming

[Michael Dillon]

The Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming
has a position available for an
M.S. student investigating pollinators and other insects in sagebrush
ecosystems of southern Wyoming.
The study will inform the Wyoming BLM about native pollinators, how wind
farms may alter pollinator
assemblages, and provide information on future wind turbine placement.
To understand how changes in
pollinator abundance may affect the food web, the student will also
estimate bird and bat diversity, and
measure effects of pollinator removal on seed/fruit set for target
plants. The student will begin field
research in May 2013 and full funding, including a stipend, full tuition
waiver, and health insurance, is
available for 2.5 years.

Students with a strong research background in insect ecology (especially
pollinators), insect
identification, and statistics will be given first consideration.
Superior applicants will have well-rounded
backgrounds in wildlife ecology, botany, and/or range ecology. Selection
will be based on GPA, GRE
scores, experience, and recommendation letters. Interested students
should email a letter of interest and
CV to Dr. Michael Dillon (Michael.Dillon at uwyo.edu).
