Fun to announce @alecchristensen.bsky.social defended his MS thesis yesterday in the Environmental and Conservation Sciences program. Looking forward to helping chapters get out and to see what he does as he goes off to do his PhD at West Viriginia University

Crickets! Behavior! 
Genetics! Statistics!

The Dochtermann Lab in the Department of  Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University is seeking to fill a PhD assistantship examining how selection has shaped phenotypic plasticity and patterns of genetic variance. 
The position will start Fall Semester 2025 and the
incoming student will be joining a dynamic department (www.ndsu.edu/biology) and an interdisciplinary graduate program that provides a broad foundation for success (www.ndsu.edu/ecs).

For more information about the lab visit www.neddochtermann.com

If interested, please contact me at ned.dochtermann@gmail.com with a brief synopsis of your research interests.

I have a PhD position open to start fall semester 2025!

The position will include investigations of the structure of both phenotypic (behavioral) plasticity and genetic variation in behavior as well as lots of opportunity to develop your own project.

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍πŸ§ͺ #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

With hopefully submitting my thesis next spring I am starting my search for a PhD position. I have broad interests in most wildlife related topics & experience in #rstats, #cwd, #bioninformatics, and #GIS. Would appreciate to hear about any upcoming opportunities! #phdchat

A flyer that says "Jobs in conservation" in white text inside a white box, where the background is beautiful mountains with patches of snow, blue sky, and the foreground is green grass, shrubs, and scattered trees.

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc.

I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world.

Share job ads with me and I'll link here.

A poster I presented @ the North Dakota Chapter of the Wildlife Society earlier this month. Ecstatic to figure out more!
