[OHIOBWG] FW: Grad opportunity in T & E species research--northern long-eared bats

[Schultes, Katrina -FS]

Assistantship in Mammalian Ecology

A research assistantship is available in the Stevens Lab in the Department of Natural Resources Management at Texas Tech University (http://myweb.ttu.edu/richstev) to assist in a study of habitat affinities, day roost characteristics and behavioral interaction networks of the northern long-eared bat in Louisiana.  This species has recently been listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.  The investigation will continue to update distribution, conduct telemetry to assess day roost characteristics as well as determine interaction networks of individuals.  Much opportunity exists for experiences in working with a T & E species as well as cutting edge ecological and evolutionary approaches.   Preferred applicants should have or should be finishing a master’s degree as well as have experience or desire to learn how to track bats using telemetry.  Although the project has specific objectives related to funding, much opportunity exists for the development of the candidate’s research interests and questions.  Funding for the research assistantship begins in January of 2016.  For more information please contact richard.stevens at ttu.edu<mailto:richard.stevens at ttu.edu>.
