About this position
The University of Georgia is offering three PhD assistantships in wildlife ecology focused on understanding and preventing damage caused by invasive wild pigs. The doctoral students will join an interdisciplinary team associated with the Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.
Research projects will address wild pig population dynamics, spatial ecology, agricultural and environmental damage assessment, and the effects of invasive wild pigs on native wildlife. Students will develop dissertation research questions within this framework according to their individual interests.
The work involves close collaboration with fellow students, faculty, and agency personnel. Students will be stationed at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory in Aiken, South Carolina, when they are not attending classes or collecting field data, providing an applied research environment centered on wildlife ecology, invasive species management, natural-resource conservation, and human-wildlife conflict.
