The student will work closely with faculty, postdocs and graduate students on the project to learn about tropical field ecology and develop a project of their choosing within the overall scope of the project. The work will entail long hours, strenuous hiking, staying at field stations and camping sites along our gradient and working in hot tropical conditions. Stipend ($600/week), housing costs, food allowance and round-trip airfare to Cairns, Australia are included.
