Organization: Wichita State University Biological Field Station
Location: Kansas and Colorado
Deadline to Apply: Not provided
Description:
Search is underway for a highly motivated individual to join a collaborative team studying the role of a dominant grazer in replanted, native grasslands. One of the largest, grassland restoration initiatives in the U.S. is the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). In Kansas, the CRP program has re-established over 2 million acres of native grassland; however, most of these sites do not include a dominant grazer despite the critical role that bison historically played in these systems. In this new project, we will test how cattle grazing influences native plant communities and bird habitat in short and tall grass prairie regions (Colorado and Kansas). The project will involve extensive fieldwork during the summers.
The position requires someone who is self-motivated, works well with a team of field researchers, and has a strong interest in ecology. Some knowledge of grassland plants is preferred, but strong students with the aptitude to learn plants quickly will also be considered. Because we will be collaborating with private landowners, some experience working in the United States is required as well as proficiency in spoken and written English. Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in ecology, biology, or a related field and must meet the requirements for admission at Wichita State University. Successful applicants will receive a 2-year assistantship with an annual stipend of $23,000 along with a tuition waiver and health benefits. The anticipated start date is May 2024 but the position could begin sooner if the candidate is available. To apply, email your CV, transcript, and a letter describing your research interests and future goals to Dr. Greg Houseman (greg.houseman@wichita.edu). An unofficial transcript will suffice for the initial application with an official copy needed if accepted into the program. You do not need to apply to the Graduate School until you have been accepted into my lab. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Description:
Every summer, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) hires a cohort of 25-50 “Innovation Interns.” This is a slightly different internship, as topics and responsibilities are customized to the needs of various TNC teams and the capabilities/skillset of the students selected.
- Positions are US-based, but could work with any number of different TNC teams, from state chapters, to regional conservation teams, to topic-specific teams like the climate-smart forestry team I lead.
- Though sometimes embedded in a regional/state team, all internships allow for remote work. My impression is that most interns utilize that option.
- As a result of remote work, most projects focus on office-based tasks. But fret not, the options are still very broad. Past intern topics have included a focus on technology, analytics, design, art, activism, social change, equity, management, communications, science, engineering, coding, marketing, and writing.
- Students should highlight the skills they want to use/develop in their application, so if selected they get paired with a TNC team that needs those skills.
- Internships are posted online.
- There is one posting for several grad intern openings (search Job ID 54713).
- There is one posting for the several undergrad intern openings (Job ID 54712)
All internships are paid.
