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.

Funding details

Assistantship salary is commensurate and negotiable. The posting does not specify tuition coverage, a stipend amount, or other funding details.

What's required

Applicants must complete an MS degree in wildlife biology, ecology, or a related discipline before enrolling at the Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources. Prior ecological fieldwork experience is required. Applicants should demonstrate an interest in understanding and resolving human-wildlife conflicts, excellent organizational, writing, and communication skills, and strong quantitative skills. Experience working with state and federal stakeholders and private landowners is preferred. The application should include GPA and GRE scores if available.

How to apply

Submit a letter of interest, CV including GPA and GRE scores if available, and contact information for three references in a single PDF attachment to Dr. Jessy Patterson at [email protected]. Contact Dr. Patterson by email with questions.
