Graduate position: UAlaska.SalmonLifeHistory

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Davis, Miranda L.

Applicants sought for Master of Science (MS) in Fisheries position at the
University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF; campus located in Juneau, Alaska, USA).

Project: Salmon life history evolution and hatchery mating policy in
Alaska: is non-selective mating unnatural?

Currently there is minimal understanding of how well salmon hatchery
production protocols mimic natural mating strategies or maintain genetic
variation and fish size. The successful applicant will conduct MS thesis
research using a demographic and genetic dataset of unparalleled richness
(Auke Creek coho salmon) to: 1) quantify the relative fitness (survival and
reproductive success) of ‘jacks’ (precocial males) and full-size males in a
wild coho population; 2) determine whether jacks are more likely to sire
jacks and larger female offspring than are full-size males; and 3) assess
the contribution of jacks to the maintenance of genetic diversity in wild
and hatchery populations. Fieldwork and computer analyses required.
Population genetics background preferred. Final confirmation of funding
anticipated shortly.

TODAY: Opwall Presentation at UConn – Field research experiences for undergraduates

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Davis, Miranda L.

Operation Wallacea Presentation by Dr. Tim Coles

Monday, September 30^th

5:00PM

PBB 203

Background

Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities, who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research expeditions. Research is supported by students who join the programme, to strengthen their CV or resume or collect data for a dissertation or thesis. Academics benefit from funding for high quality fieldwork enabling them to publish papers in peer reviewed journals. This model enables the collection of large temporal and spatial datasets used for assessing the effectiveness of conservation management interventions. More information: https://www.opwall.com/

Past UConn students have used their time on an OpWall trip to collect data for use in their Honors thesis, or to gain independent study credit.

What is Operation Wallacea?

Operation Wallacea (Opwall) is a conservation research organisation that is funded by, and relies on, teams of student volunteers who join expeditions for the opportunity to work on real-world research programmes alongside academic researchers.

Most science programmes abroad that deliver research outcomes are funded on a short-term basis by grants with typically tightly restricted aims. Long-term projects covering large bio-geographical scales that can incorporate more than one ecosystem are rare. By adopting a volunteer funded model, Opwall does not suffer from those restrictions and can draw upon researchers from a wide range of different disciplines and academic institutions, and create long-term research projects.

Those researchers and academics also separate Opwall from other volunteer organisations, allowing a truly research orientated project. You can also find out more about peoples experiences and our projects at the Opwall Blog.

Features

Over 460 Peer Reviewed Publications
12 vertebrate, 29 invertebrate and 4 plant species discovered
Supported more than 80 biodiversity conservation research PhDs
Involved in the establishment of multiple protected areas
Supervised over 1000 undergraduate and masters dissertations
Directs $millions every year to on-the-ground conservation and research
Alumni includes more than 20,000 volunteers from over 100 countries

Graduate position: UVirginia.EvolutionEcolBehavior

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Davis, Miranda L.

The Department of Biology at the University of Virginia is
> currently recruiting PhD students in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior
> (EEB). Graduate training in EEB at the University of Virginia emphasizes
> research creativity, independence, and collaboration. We are looking
> for students who bring their own ideas to the conversation, and
> who are willing to explore and master new techniques to research
> those ideas. Our culture provides exceptional opportunities for close
> interaction with faculty both in a student¡¯s home laboratory and across
> the department. Many students conduct their research at the Mountain
> Lake Biological Station (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmlbs.virginia.edu&data=02%7C01%7Cmiranda.l.davis%40uconn.edu%7C33abf47790cb4e2fff6e08d74274da06%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C1%7C637050941952390453&sdata=Q8ERJpyLIPksz2IplZVlIYtVNtGVnGekAqv%2F6zdoavI%3D&reserved=0) where they interact
> closely with scientists and students from all over the world.
