The Pinou Lab of Vertebrate Zoology at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Connecticut is currently seeking a student interested in pursuing a MS in Integrative Biological Diversity to join the lab ASAP. We are particularly interested in a motivated student with an interest in ecological modeling and limnology to address questions in aquatic invasive plant management using biological control agents (i.e., sterile grass carp). Students with ROV’s, camera traps and video experience are particularly encouraged to apply. Knowledge of occupancy modeling is also a plus but not required. The position is partially funded by a FirstLight Power Fellowship. Student support includes university assistantships, internal scholarships, and fellowships (internal and external). Immediately, interested students should contact the PI at pinout@wcsu.edu and include a cover letter describing your research experience and interests, as well as a CV.
All interested students must hold a driver’s license and be accepted into the MS in Integrated Biological Diversity program by Spring 2023 (https://www.wcsu.edu/biology-msbiodiversity/how-to-apply/)
