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
