About
The Boves and Bouldin Labs at Arkansas State University are seeking multiple graduate students to conduct research in the field of wetland ecology (MS in Biology or MS/PhD in Environmental Science). These students will be part of a large collaborative team (from multiple academic institutions) that will be evaluating the effectiveness of the Wetland Reserve Program using a variety of biotic (e.g., avian diversity, macroinvertebrate and macrophyte assessments) and abiotic (e.g., water chemistry, flow) metrics.
In addition, there will be support (and the expectation) for students to carry out their own specific research within the broader project framework, especially involving birds.
