Masters Research Assistantship grassland songbird life-cycle

The Perlut Lab (https://sites.une.edu/perlutlab/) is recruiting an MS student (Research Assistant; Biological Sciences) to study the nesting and migration ecology of a recently restored, but highly isolated population of Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows, nesting in southeastern NY.  This is a collaborative sister project to our long-term study of these species in Vermont--exploring how migratory birds full annual life-cycle is influenced by agriculture and how we can create systems that balance both farming and bird needs. 

Competitive applicants will have relevant experience with nest searching, banding and scientific writing as well as a record of high undergraduate achievement and strong GRE scores.  Experience with geolocators and GIS is greatly welcomed.  The project will start in May 2023 and include a stipend and tuition waiver.  If you are interested in this opportunity, please review the lab website and our publications, as well as the program (https://www.une.edu/cas/biology/graduate/ms-biological-sciences) and email me, Noah Perlut, nperlut@une.edu, with a letter explaining your interests in this position, detailing your relevant experience, as well as a copy of your CV.
