We are looking for 4 outstanding undergraduate students and 2 graduate students to participate in an International Research Experience for Students Program (IRES), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This is a research training program in wildlife conservation in the Caribbean archipelago of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Two groups will be recruited: one working on cetaceans and another working on parrots (led by Dr. Cristina Gomes).
The NSF IRES Wildlife Conservation Training Program in the Caribbean is a 1-year program (3 credits) for undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of this program is to help train the next generation of wildlife conservationists at a time when they are most needed. We seek to provide students with high-quality research, conservation and professional development opportunities in wildlife ecology and conservation. The unique combination of research and applied conservation work led by IoE scientists, and the cultural knowledge and local research experience of partners in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, will serve as a platform for students to acquire proficient research and conservation skills, be involved in publications and participate in conferences, network with key conservation leaders, and partake in successful human development and outreach programs.
The deadline to apply is October 30th, 2024 (11:59pm, EDT). Please share this announcement to your students, both graduate and undergraduate. For more information and to apply, please visit:
