Posted Apr 5
Seeking a MS or PhD trainee to begin fall 2021 or January 2022. The Lichtenberg Lab (https://biology.unt.edu/lichtenberg-lab) combines behavioral and community ecology to study foraging behavior, social learning, and plant-animal interactions. We are particularly interested in how land use change and land management practices affect these phenomena. The lab's study systems include local grasslands, agricultural fields, and lab-based experiments. The trainee will be funded through a TAship, with possibility for a summer RAship. The lab is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment to trainees from diverse backgrounds.
