Hello All, I seek a highly motivated student to pursue a Master's degree in my lab to examine the physiological impacts of alternate supplemental feeding in white-tailed deer. (This position is lab-based, no field work). Please see below for specifics of the call. The Sheriff Lab at UMass Dartmouth is a highly collaborative research group investigating how animals respond to environmental change, predation risk, and human disturbance. Located on the beautiful South Coast of Massachusetts, UMass Dartmouth offers a welcoming, close-knit research community with access to diverse coastal, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The area combines excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation with easy access to Providence, Boston, and Cape Cod. Cheers, Michael Position: Masters graduate position in ecophysiology in Dr. Michael Sheriff’s lab (http://michaeljsheriff.weebly.com). Location: The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Dartmouth, MA. Description: I seek a highly motivated MSc student to work on a funded project examining how alternate supplemental feeding regimes impact the reproductive, stress, and energetic physiology of white-tailed deer. Additionally, questions can be asked about how these physiological responses are linked back to body condition and reproductive output of adults and fawn survival. This project is lab-based (no field work) and samples have already been collected. Experience working in a physiological or endocrinology lab is a plus. Qualifications: Applicants must hold a B.S. in Ecology, Biology, Wildlife or a related field, have a GPA of 3.2 or greater. Applicants must be highly motivated, have excellent written and oral communication skills, and be capable of working independently. The most qualified applicants will have laboratory experience in a physiology or endocrinology lab. To apply please email a cover letter describing research experience and interests, CV, transcripts (unofficial), GPA, and contact information of three references to Dr. Michael Sheriff (msheriff@umassd.edu) with Graduate Application in the subject line. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until January.
