Thanks,
The USGS South Carolina Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit at
Clemson University has a Graduate Research Assistantship (MS level)
available to examine reproductive ecology of Painted Buntings. The
research will focus on relating habitat conditions to reproductive
ecology on golf courses in South Carolina. The research is being
supported by the Wildlife Links Program, National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation and is intended to result in the development of habitat
management guidelines for golf courses that would benefit Painted
Buntings. The selected applicant will be expected to locate bunting
nests and track their success throughout the breeding season. Other
duties will include tracking radio-collared birds, conducting songbird
surveys, and measuring habitat variables at multiple scales (nest tree,
patch, territory). All research will be conducted on golf courses and
golf course communities and interaction with the public is expected. The
successful candidate also will maintain master data sets from all field
work, use GIS and appropriate statistical techniques to analyze habitat
use and reproductive success data, prepare annual reports, and present
results at meetings.
Candidates should have a BS or BA in wildlife ecology, zoology, biology
or a related field. GPA > 3.0 and GRE scores > 1100 preferred. Student
will be supported through a GRA with a salary of ca. 14 k/yr depending
upon experience and qualifications and will be a member of the
Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Clemson University. A
graduation tuition deferment will be provided. Experience working with
songbirds preferred. The selected candidate will begin January 2008 with
field work commencing April-May 2008. Applications should be received by
2 November 2007.
Candidates should provide a letter of interest, a CV, a list of three
references, copies of transcripts (unofficial is acceptable for now),
and a copy of your GRE scores directly to Patrick Jodice,
pjodice@xxxxxxxxxxxx If needed, the mailing address is SC Cooperative
Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, G27 Lehotsky Hall, Clemson University,
Clemson, SC, 29634. The home page for Dr. Jodice is
