  • Ph.D., Spatial Ecology and Exercise Physiology of High-altitude Waterfowl

    Kevin McCracken

    By Kevin McCracken

      • Employer: University of Miami
      Location: Coral Gables, Florida & Peru
      Country: United States
      Last Date to Apply: 12/01/2024
      Open Until Filled: Yes

    A highly motivated PhD student is sought to study animal movements, behavior, and habitat use in low-oxygen environments characterized by reduced air density. Of particular interest is how exercise physiology parameters differ across elevational extremes in migratory and non-migratory species, and the ways in which quantitative models can be applied to address this question using joint location and acceleration data.

    The position will be based at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, with Dr. Kevin McCracken and a team of collaborating investigators.

    Travel to field sites in South America, primarily in Peru, to work with waterfowl will be required. Basic spanish speaking skills are required. Students from western South America are especially encouraged to apply.

    Typical duration of funding for a PhD student at the University of Miami is +5 years with stipends of approximately $34,000/year, including a full tuition waiver and health benefits with expected increases for cost of living each year. Both university fellowships and departmental teaching assistantships are available, as well as summer support.

    Applications to the PhD program at UM are due 1 December 2024 for fall 2025 admission (https://biology.as.miami.edu/graduate/index.html).

    Interested individuals should send a statement including background and research interests and curriculum vitae to:
